Hypocrisy and Relativism

[FaithChem]

I read this article today (nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/06/on_gay_marriage_some_state_gov.html). I don’t understand why people who support gay marriage complain about the Catholic Church. If they think they are right and the Church is wrong then logically it follows that eventually the Catholic Church will cease to exist and they can do what ever makes them happy unabated. Why do they insist on writing diatribes about how the Church “must change” etc etc? Heck if I saw something I so disapproved of falling apart I really wouldn’t care. Maybe that’s cynical of me but really. What do all of you think?

The truth is always persecuted. I wish I could discern why they care but I feel it’s a matter of comformity. If everyone believes like ME then I would be right.

The Church is the true and final protector of order and charity.

Family, natural law, ordering all to the common good, truth, love, etc.

These need to be destroyed for evil to flourish.

I think that anger is being redirected against the Church because she stands for what is written in the word of God. Anger is always (always in my experience as a behaviorist) a “blind” for pain and fear (with the exception of being the result of illness, mental or physical). If a person is doing something in his/her life that s/he experiences as not the “norm” or is judged for (and that person is free of mental illness), s/he wants society at large to accept his/her behavior without any judgment. I grew up in Greenwich Village in NYC (many years ago and no comments from the peanut gallery lolol) and I know how vicious a lifestyle homosexuality CAN be. I’ve seen the results in many peoples’ lives. It is a torment, not a blessing of any kind, to be trapped (or so one might experience it) in that lifestyle. If those who are can convince everyone else that this is just another “normal”, then they are free of the self doubt that MUST be part of such a lifestyle (how can it not be?)

Very elegantly put! Honestly I wish they would just go about their business and be quiet like they expect us to. Talk about hypocrites. They speak as if the Church has no authority but then seek its validation. It makes no logical sense.
