For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
 
2Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Code: 
  24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

  26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

  28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

It’s not quite so simple. For one, some people in the low info crowd DO care what he thinks, but what it really comes down it is reinforcement of a bad idea.

I feel it would be more beneficial for the Catholic Church to promote what we agree with. A loving marriage between one man, one woman, for life and before God. This has to be the greatest good union.

Sadly today, it is not just the gay issue, it is the breakdown of marriage for life, in the UK almost half of the 15 year old children are not living with both their biological parents. When families break down, communities suffer, and there seems to be a greater need for social services.

That’s why Islam has the advantage in the UK. Most of their kids are born into stable families.

A key mission given to the Catholic Church by Christ is the salvation of souls. The identification and condemnation of sin is necessary in that mission.

I know a number of people who have turned away from the church, after the riotousness finger of condemnation has been pointed at them. Hopefully, we will not put too many sinners off, or our churches will be empty.

I know many who left Christ because they do not accept a teaching of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Himself said…‘if you love me you will keep my commandments’. Love requires obedience. Do you suggest disobedience in order to keep numbers up?

You need to read more closely…I said condemnation of sin…not the sinner.

Jesus said…Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.

That’s exactly what the Church is saying.

The problem is that some want to create their own definition of sin that accommodates their own weaknesses.
 
Isn’t mocking the team you crushed call “Poor Sportmanship”? He must be scared because of the truth behind our opposition to make him act like such a poor sport.

I’ve experienced this “mocking” by pro-gay “rights” supporters. It’s a fascinating characteristic of them, really. I think it’s telling as well. It shows that their stances and fervent support is truly based on emotion and nothing of true substance. Then again, when “love is love” and “they aren’t hurting anyone” is their baseline argument, besides “equality” it’s really a no brainer of how they respond to dissent.

You have pro-gay supports on CAF, made accounts just to talk about gay “marriage” (fair enough), and you have secularists, when dealing with issues like these, saying stock talking points and their contempt for Christianity slowly peaks its ugly head. You know why they’re here, but you just have to wait for the right moment see what they truly feel about the religious. They are despicable despite thinking Christians are despicable.

To hell with them. (Not really, I just used that as an expression, nothing more.)

I wish I can make a list to call them out, with their quotes, but I can’t. I’d get banned.
