Yeah I happened to see that episode. I've since turned away from O'Reilly. His Catholicism blinds him to truth. He would NOT accept that being gay is wrong and Biblically incorrect. When someone goes beyond verses that can be interpreted in a humanistic way, O'Reilly is thoroughly confused. Catholicism does NOT depend on the Bible for its teachings - hence the priest scandals etc.. O'Reilly fully supports homosexuals and their lifestyle.
NO one is born that way. It IS a lifestyle CHOICE.
I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion about Catholicism, but your comment prompted a response.
I don't know what flavor of Catholicism Mr. O'Reilly practices, but MY Catholic church DOES teach Biblical principles and the tenet of Love the sinner but hate the sin, just as God commands. The sinner can always be changed.

What a nice insult for a Sunday morning. The scandals in teh Catholic church have to do with the failings of individuals, not the Faith. Blaming the Catholic Church for these problems would be like blaming Protestant beliefs for the many Protestant Faiths for all the swindlers, hucksters and false healers out there.
I am a staunch conservative BECAUSE of my devout Catholic beliefs. I oppose vile homosexuality because of what the bible says. I oppose abortion and promiscuity and all the other sins of modern society for the same reasons. Let's not turn this into a religious debate, other than to agree that the Bible says it's wrong.
That has got to be one of the most asinine assertions I've ever heard here. Would you like to hear a litany of scandal among sects that DO depend on the Bible for their teaching?
Since Catholicism teaches that sodomy is a mortal sin, and is condemned in the Bible, what can your point be? Since Catholicism teaches that Scripture is the inerrant, inspired Word of God, what can your point be? Since priests who are sexual abusers are unfaithful to Catholic teaching and unfaithful to Scripture, what can your point be?
