Forgive me if I sound uncharitable, but I am tired of people acting like their lifestyles and behaviors do not affect the rest of society. If people’s lifestyles did NOT affect anyone, we wouldn’t need laws in the first place. But face it we need laws and regulations to keep society from falling into chaos. Why do you think God gave us specific commandments and punishments for those who disobey? Why should we love each other at all if our individual attitudes do not affect everyone around us? Changing the definition of marriage does not ONLY defy our Lord but it demeans society and the dignity of human life.
Here is a big reason why the institution of the traditional human family needs to be preserved (watch the trailer):

Everyone, regardless of their religious or cultural background, needs to be aware of the consequences we will receive for acting like our ideas are better than our Lord Gods’.
 
What is this “homosexual agenda” I keep hearing about? After the first time I realized I was getting hot under the collar around a pretty lady, was there a memo I was supposed to receive about it, and it got lost in the mail?

Yes, I’m being facetious. I also can’t help thinking there’s a note of paranoia about these “boycott X because they support Y” campaigns. A priest friend of mine told me that these are generally bad ideas since they wind up hurting the wrong people, ie. the payroll for the workers in the company who may well have families to support.

Yes, you are correct about the Catholic Church’s views. But how does it directly affect YOU? It doesn’t. Nothing in your day to day life is affected because two women choose to spend their lives together.

It effects us because if we are truly love our fellow man we must dissuade them from the path of destruction for their immortal souls. We do not seek to bully people into our point of view.

I think it’s great that Campbell’s is acknowledging that families come in all sorts of different configurations. But it’s unfortunate that so many people who claim to embrace God’s love spew hatred towards others, and seek to encourage intolerance and fear.

How nice it would be if Christians and Catholics – people of all faiths, really – chose love instead of hate. And despite the efforts of hatemongers like Donald Wildmon, love seems to be slowly winning out anyway. An October poll conducted by Faith in Public Life found that 30 percent of Catholics agreed that “gay couples should be allowed to marry,” rising to 47 percent when the question is framed by the insistence that “no church or congregation would be required to perform marriages for gay couples.”

In other words, “I may not believe that my church should consecrate it, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be allowed.” That’s what’s meant by “tolerance” – it may not have a place in your church, but that doesn’t mean it’s not acceptable for others. Hopefully, that’s a step toward “I believe God loves us all, and that it’s great when people find love, no matter where they find it.”

We should celebrate happy families, whether in soup commercials or in real life. I feel sorry for anyone who sees images of a family and immediately hates them because their family is different from their own narrow idea of how others should live. That doesn’t strike me as very Christian.

Merry Christmas.

The company itself puts the workers at risk by advocating evil. As somebody said before, everyone has to eat. I am sure we all know by now Campbell’s sells soups. All one has to do is go into the supermarket.

Love of mankind and obedience to God is what motivates us. Most of the tolerance that you are speaking of is not love but apathy towards what other people do with their lives. Such indifference to our brothers and sisters is unhealthy.

I would also be disgusted at a brother and sister living in incest. I would also be disturbed if a person made it public that they lay down with beasts. What happens behind close doors is one thing but what is supported, managed, and encouraged with my tax dollars is another. Would I hate these people, no. But I would condemn their actions because they are selfish offering no bounty to God or society through their actions.

Love is not tolerance

BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN
Code: 
http://www.catholiceducation.org/images/authos/Sheen8.JPG
**Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it.

** *Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. *
It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin.
*The cry for tolerance never induces it to quench its hatred of the evil philosophies that have entered into contest with the Truth. *
It forgives the sinner, and it hates the sin; it is unmerciful to the error in his mind.
*The sinner it will always take back into the bosom of the Mystical Body;
but his lie will never be taken into the treasury of His Wisdom. *
*Real love involves real hatred:
whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the buyers and sellers from the temples
has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth. *
*Charity, then, is not a mild philosophy of “live and let live”;
it is not a species of sloppy sentiment. *
Charity is the infusion of the Spirit of God,
which makes us love the beautiful and hate the morally ugly.

A company also does it’s employee’s and investors diservice by not advertising it’s products.

Chances are they did a huge media by trying to target specific groups and ages that represent the most opportunity to make profit. Seriously gay people’s money is just as green as everyone else. If gay people buy more soup and more money gets donated to schools, (including Catholic ones) who’s really getting the last laugh.

Don’t get me wrong, I find Homosexuality morally wrong…but we live in a country where you have the right to do what you wish as long as it doesn’t infinge on other’s rights.

That being said…do not expect me to boycott Campbells. I love their Tomato Basil Soup to much. 😃

Some drug dealers give to charity too.

Lucky for me I like Tomato Basil soup more than Crack. 😛

Seriously, you need to lighten up. If you are going to boycott any and every product that has ever advertised in a manner that might attract someone who does something that is morally objectable, or has someone who is might be morally objectable working for them, you are going to starve to death, in the cold, and the dark.

Lighten Up.

So what if drug dealers give to charity. It’s helping the charity and it could be one step closer to helping drug dealers realize what they are doing is wrong.

It use to be against the law for black people and white people to go to the same school, or eat in the same restaurant or share the same water fountain.

I think stuff like this exhibits God’s amazing ability to work in strange ways. He can take money donated to charity for the wrong reasons and use it to good.

And Christians used to be crucified for enjoyment. Do not forgot that God hears the cries of the afflicted and that the greater the suffering the greater the reward.

That is unless you are suffering out of something unholy which homosexuality is.
 
So will their “Italian-Style Wedding Soup” be renamed “Italian-Style Civil Union Soup”? 😃

Except a Catholic school cannot knowingly accept money from an illicit source.
