"Bishop Paprocki: My Decree--Explained to Answer Misunderstandings"

[StudentMI]

You said earlier you don’t agree with them, so I imagine you wouldn’t share New Ways’ posts on your social media accounts. However, you contend Fr. Martin also doesn’t support their work…

I never said anywhere that Martin does or does not support them. That’s a strawmen or a bad misunderstanding on your part.

And yes, his support of them does not relegate everything he says to the dustbin. That’s the definition of an ad hominem.

You and I disagree about Martin’s criticism. Oh well.

And that is wrong, but this is also an ad hominem.

And nowhere in your statement did I see a convincing rebuttal of what Fr. Martin said. To single out only those in an SS marriage is inconsistent.

He singled them out because it is relatively new like he states in the article.

My recent decree did not address all these various other situations because they have long been part of Church teaching. The decree was needed to add the novel concept of same-sex “marriage” to those instances considered to be objectively grave sins.

 

[NonTimendum]

I still think Fr James Martin was correct in his assessment of this. Haven’t really come across a convincing rebuttal of that.

And the increasing trend of the laity acting like they can say who and who can’t receive the Eucharist and be a Catholic continues…

Fr James Martin, respectfully, is out of his mind. On this issue. I forgot the gestapo is always reading. He is out of his mind on this issue.
