Hello Catholic Answers Forums Members:
I recently made this post:
"The Church allows for a variety of different ideas when interpreting Church doctrine. Some Cardinals have a more liberal interpretation of doctrine. The Church does not disapprove of this, because they are valid interpretations.
For example, Cardinal Marx thinks we can bless same sex “unions”. Cardinal Burke says this is terrible as an idea. Is either wrong? No, they are just speaking in light of an interpretation of Church doctrine.
That is why we disagree."
That was five days ago. My post was flagged and I was subsequently suspended. I TOTALLY deserved my suspension.
Let me explain.
I have a reputation on the forum for being very conservative and perhaps unwelcoming with regards to homosexuality and similar issues. Many members have expressed to me that they dislike how I express my views on the matter. I saw a thread called “Why do Catholics criticise each other?”. I decided I might try and regain a reputation as more welcoming. So…I typed an answer to the thread title without thinking in which I essentially appeared to support same sex “marriages”. I DO NOT support these relationships. They are not in accordance with Church teaching, which states that lay celibacy is the only acceptable state of life for homosexuals. I agree with this and the Catechism’s explanation. My comment was not based on my real view but on a selfish desire to be more respected. I made a huge mistake. I did not mean what I said and never have. I said it to answer a question and to try and regain respect.
I failed terribly. My comment appeared to defy Church doctrine, which it did in fact. It was flagged and I was suspended. I deserved my suspension as I said something contrary to the Gospel of Our Lord. I only think of what the forum must imagine about my view, but I support wholeheartedly the Church’s teaching on the matter.
I made a mistake and am so sorry. I should not have said any of that and I have come back from my suspension with a mind for preaching the true Gospel.
I would like to thank:
The person who flagged my post.
CAF Moderators.
I am glad the moderators censor posts that are contrary to Church doctrine.
Again I am sorry for my comment.
God Bless you all!
