Catholics cannot accept gay marriage, pope says

[terrig]

I’m glad that he reiterated this, but sadly my “pro-gay rights” peers at school have been targeting me for their snide remarks…sigh.
Why can’t they just understand that it’s “love the sinner, hate the sin”?

I will say a prayer for you. Be strong and remember what Jesus said that if the world hated him, it will hate you, too, for standing with him. Offer it to Jesus as part of your cross but don’t give in to your friends. What does it matter if you gain the whole world and lose your soul. Pray to our Lady. She will ask for the graces for you to deal with this. If you received the sacraments and go before the Blessed Sacrament, you will receive unbelievable emotional and spiritual strength. I know because I am going through this (in a different situation) but I’ve had to leave loved ones behind because I want to follow Jesus first.

Hi terrig,

I wonder if I could suggest that you please use the “Quote” feature to ease posting for you and lessen confusion for the rest of us? The “Quote” feature is really easy to use. Just click on the “Quote” button on the lower righthand side of the post you wish to respond to. A new window will pop up with the post already quoted for you and then you can just begin typing in the window your own post beneath or above the quote and formatting, whichever suits your response.

Hope my suggestion is helpful to you.

the Pope got it right on THIS one!!!

Yeah, as the Successor of Peter, he is doing a great job guiding the flock of Christ. I pray every day for the Holy Father, asking for the guidance and strength to serve his Master to death.
