I don’t think that is an issue isolated to the Baptist Church, folks.

I see a boatload of Christian churches of ALL denominations that have the rainbow flag on their signs, if not the actual flags.

I commend the Southern Baptists for taking this positive step, but there are a load of other denominations, not just Catholics, who openly embrace homosexuality.

Absolutely true. Pretty much every liberal denomination is in the same boat.

Well, the teaching of the Catholic Church is that a homosexual "orientation" is "objectively disordered" and that homosexual conduct involves "acts of grave depravity" and "under no circumstances can they be approved."

And Pope Francis has just re-affirmed the traditional Catholic policy that homosexuals are not to be admitted to the seminary. He told bishops they are not to admit young men into seminaries if “you have the slightest doubt” that they might be active homosexuals ~ or ~" have "deep-seated homosexual tendencies".

As good-guy Catholic journalist Phil Lawler remarked,

I know; I know. This concern about homosexual influence contrasts quite sharply with the Holy Father’s reported advice to a gay Chilean abuse victim to “be happy with who you are.” It contrasts with the most famous words of his pontificate, uttered in response to questioning about a homosexual cleric: “Who am I to judge?” But if Pope Francis is finally recognizing the damage that homosexual influence has done to the Church, that is surely a hopeful sign.

So the problem here is not "Catholic-ISM" "openly embracing" homosexuality: it's post-Catholic, quasi-Catholic, and anti-Catholic Catholics. That includes our on-again, off-again, Yes - No - Maybe - You-figure-it-out, (sigh) non-denominational post-Catholic pope.


Who makes me feel like pulling my hair out of a daily basis.


That said, I salute the honorable, God-pleasing SBC for clearly and totally disfellowshiping the lesbian - er - "fellowship".
