What else can I say? I am so mad! Lord have mercy on us who are stil faithful to your laws!!!
 
Yep saw it on the news today, nothing surprises me anymore, God help us, how perverse, how sick, how satanic, words fail me. :banghead:
 
I am just wondering how long it will take for these countries to try to force the Church to perform ceremonies those so-called marrages.:mad:

1989: Denmark becomes the first country to grant same-sex partners the same rights as married couples. Church weddings are not allowed.

South Africa legalized gay marriages last week and the Brits did it this week.

Individual US states continue to battle this fight.
 
That means big business for wedding planners. Richard Jones is one of the planners who is cashing in on the new British law that will take effect in two weeks. His company, “Modern Commitments,” already has signed up more than 100 clients.

Yes it all is very disgusting.
And yes these ‘unions’ are called marriages sometimes but they aren’t marriages in the way Catholics believe. The term ‘marriage’ does get thrown around and many get confused.

Pope Benedict XVI warned against false imitations of marriage at the Latin American Episcopal Commissions for the Family and Life. And he also when decrying the use of embryonic subjects, he also decried the wide acceptance of homosexual unions.

Firstly, they are not marriages. They are ‘civil unions’. They have all the benefits of marriage, but heterosexual coules cannot have a civil union, they must get married.

Why the semantic argument? Because many people argued that marriage must contain one man and one woman. So a same-sex couple would not qualify.Other argued marriage is ‘God given’ and should not be changed by man.

Thus we have the sacred and sacrosanct, historically mysterious, God blessed marriage of heterosexuals, and the legally equivilent but semantically different, historically recorded civil union.

It is a great step forward yes…but it is also codifying in law that heterosexuals and homosexuals are not the same, and not to accorded identical status.

Rejoice, ‘real’ marriage is still just for heterosexuals.
 
Better not they are pseudo marriages. The purpose of marriage is to pro-create. Homosexual unions can’t do this.

Right now G&L rights groups spokepersons(here in the US) are claiming that no one church will be forced to perform those ceremonies if they don’t want to- should gay marriage become legal here- but I believe that once they’ve been legal for awhile churches will be forced to do it-or lose their tax exempt status.You bet that will happen.

:nope: How awful. That can’t really happen, can it? It seems like it would go against religious rights and beliefs, etc…can they really force you to do that in the US?
 
of course they can! this isn’t exactly the same, but back in the 1800’s and earlier, it was ilegal for people of different races to marry. it became legal, but there are some churches that teach that it’s wrong for people to marry outside of their race. they can get in big trouble if someone complains about it. It’s happend at some churches in the south, I know. I don’t want this to turn into a racial disguession, but I’m just pointing that out. Gay marrage is disgusting and can’t even be put in the same boat as people marrying outside of their race. but, if a church says they won’t marry people of different races, isn’t that their religious right? the government took that away after time. You better believe that they will force this on churches. remember, the devil is behind this rediculus law and he wants to bring down churches, esp the Catholic church!

But what makes you think that gay and lesbian couples would even want to be married in a church that hates them?
 
People here should really calm doen, I mean there have been some completely over the top reactions.

“The most disgusting thing I’ve ever read”

Well either you dont read much, or that is hyperbole.

Some agression about the topic is beyond being Catholic, if you disagree with homosexual UNIONS because you are catholic, then you are dissapointed, not angry and disgusted.

These are unions, and thus we should not complain, we should be annoyed if they are marriages, however they are not, something that many homosexual couples that I have seen interviewed are quick to highlight.

No it isn’t, it is one of the purposes. Is it an invalid marriage if one cannot create?

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.
Love is Not Tolerance BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN *

How can you not see that they are not analogous?

Yes indeed, no marriage to a post menopausal marriage is valid. Surely you know that?

Wow. What a shame. 😦

When I hear this kind of stuff though I always think…“the gates of hell shall not prevail…” it helps me calm down a little 🙂

The Church does not hate them. The Church hopes they will repent of their sin and return to God.
