Ok 1st point you say is - " Do you think perhaps in the 27th century we can say murder is permissible and maybe in the 28th century we can give the stamp of approval to paedophilla? "
Now may i say i really do think that is off the topic no one has mentioned a stamp of approval to murder and paedophillia those are evil acts.
And so are homosexual acts and everyone till recently thought so.
Hence my answer to your question of which century do we live in is more than valid. Modernity does not determine what is and is not moral.
The century we live in has everything in the matter i am part a progressive church not a regressive one the century
Progressive as in pro immorality, relativism and egoism? Bring on regressive anytime.
we live in is a fast moving and modern world and the church must walk with the world.
**The Church is here to Evangelize the World not for the World to Evangelize the Church.
If that were the case, Christ would not have come and established a Church. The world was doing its own evangelization then.
Your proposition is a sell out to the devil or as Christ called him, the prince of the world.**
As the church used to say science was evil to a certain point in history. Thats why what century we live in has every thing to do with the point. Peoples attitude change and as a catholic a young catholic i have learned from reading and learning of love of our lord my attitude changes towards homosexuals they are not evil and i find very hard to say the act is.
Rubbish. I don’t know where you got the idea that the Church said science is evil. Please cite documents. The Church was at the forefront of Science. Do a little bit more of reading on what the Church is really all about.
Brings me to my second issue they are not evil but the act is!
If the act is evil you call them evil and i am most sure that the god i know would never call one of his children EVIL.
Well duh, just because one is predesposed to evil does not make one evil. One becomes evil by doing the act.
Here is an example. Murder is evil. Some may have a temptation to murder. But until they actually commit murder, they are not evil.
What a homosexual needs is to see the tradition of love and mercy and care of our holy catholic church.
The tradition of Love is there but neither should we condone an evil act. It is essentially disordered and the Church has taught so from the beginning.
As I said before, to confirm someone in his son IS VERY FAR FROM LOVING.
Not a small minded church with catholics views that the acts they commit are evil as their evil is normal for them show them care not hate!
Small minded. The relativists are the ones that are small minded. They cannot see a reality greater than their own construct, or bigger than their own egos.
That is small minded.
“FUZZY WUZZY WITH REGARDS TO SIN” - If you are a catholic you truely know when you hae sinned an urge to confess.
Not when you habitually sin. Not when you define yourself by your sin. I am a homosexual. That is defining oneself by one’s sinful orientation.
If that is how one sees oneself, then one rationalizes such sin. Once one rationalizes, that is a good indication that what is being rationalized is an evil. One never ever rationalizes a good.
People who go fuzzy wuzzy to sin perhaps have more of the lord in them than you and i as you could say the lrd in his time went fuzzy wuzzy to sin by showing love and care towards a prostitute and other on the margins of society!
How can those who are fuzzy wuzzy about sin have more on the Lord in them when the whole purpose of our Lord becoming man is such that He can conquer sin? You don’t make sense.
Yes show them forgiveness as they have sinned we all have but show them renewal !
God bless joe.
Show them mercy, yes. But Christ’s admonition remains. To them and to all of us. Go and sin no more. Renewal only comes if one is cognizant of the fact that one needs renewing.
