December 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A Catholic German ethics professor calls Cardinal Müller's recent remarks on homosexuality “unbearable” and claims that, just as the Church's teaching on the death penalty has changed, the teaching on homosexuality is also open to change.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), has been under constant sharp criticism since his 21 November interview with LifeSiteNews, in which he had drawn a link between homosexuality and clerical sex abuse.
Several prominent Catholics – among them Father Klaus Mertes, Father Ansgar Wucherpfennig, General Vicar Klaus Pfeffer – have expressed their indignation over the German Cardinal's re-stating of the Church's traditional teaching on the immorality of homosexual acts; and they all have in common that they desire to normalize the practice of homosexuality. Moreover, these clergymen are now supportively joined by Professor Gerhard Kruip, who teaches at the University of Mainz, Germany.
In his 29 November article, Professor Kruip calls Cardinal Müller's words “unbearable” and refers to Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation Amoris Laetitia (AL) as a proof that the Church has now learned to regard sexuality in general in a more positive manner. Quoting AL 152 which states that the “erotic dimension” of love is a “gift from God,” and then contrasting it with the current Catechism's claim that selfish lust is “disordered” (no. 2351), the Catholic theologian and ethicist sweepingly concludes that the Church is changing her views on sexuality: that “the Church obviously has learned something more, and that she now obviously regards the lust that is accompanying it in a more positive manner.”

How about “anything goes...no such thing as sin”.
1 Corinthians 6:18...”Flee from sexual immorality. Every OTHER sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.”
Ephesians 5:3...”But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.”
Galatians 5:19...”Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like.” This verse goes on to say that those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
A internet search will reveal 13 pages of warnings about “sexual immorality,” from the Holy Scriptures. It seems like this kind of sin corrupts the mind and body, the whole person, as nothing else does, for no matter how extreme it gets, there is always a worse step to take and it is never satisfied no matter how horrific it gets. Could it be the core of human sin leading to all others? I wonder.
And nothing will happen to them. (see my tagline.)
If yanking your own chain is a sin.
Then doing it in another man’s shooter is a sin.
Trying to maintain a R rating.
Apparently God was just “punking them”
Also, the 10 commandments were ootional./s
Disgusting. Democrats get elected only so they can get rich and break laws. I have family members that vote for them, because they’re brainwashed. I pray that some day they’ll open their eyes. But they have to have the will first.
