I, too, am a blogger and often opinionated. That is the joy of having your own blog - you write about what you want and try to offer a more in-depth look at something than just the fat that rose to the top.

Homosexuality is wrong whether for a man or a woman - am I correct on this? This article is important because it outlines information about this woman that most other news articles might leave out. This article is about ‘her’ and clearly states ‘if she is nominated’ - so it’s not exactly a bad article just because the author didn’t include the information you think should have put in there.

Bottom line - homosexuality is wrong. Any way you slice it. Women shouldn’t be priests or bishops - nor should any gay person. God clearly told us NO!

This is an abomination. Period.

As a Catholic, I agree with you; but I don't think Episcopalians care what we think. :(

No, neutral means non-partisan. Partisan sources, such as the blog cited in the first post, are known for shading the truth and leaving out facts which weaken the position of the blogger/writer/reporter. Partisan sources have a tendency to be inaccurate, such as the “pansexual” statement.

Who cares?

This conserns the Episcopal church. What does disparaging this woman or her Church do to further the True Faith?

It seems posters are just being mean.

It’s unbecomming and unnecessary. :confused:

Sorry, but they (Episcopalians) are not a Church in the proper sense.

David Virtue can call his website whatever he likes, although I think he should be a bit ashamed of that grandiose description. What you quoted are his words, not Google’s.

The quote is lifted directly from Google, that’s how Google works.

There are a lot of Anglican news services. Virtue Online is one. Pointing out the founder’s name is part of the site name is irrelevant. The Huffington Post contains both news and a blog.

Because the main subject in the topic is an abomination?

I’m throwing in with those that are disgusted with** public **behavior of that kind. Sin behind closed doors doesn’t affect me or mine. Open and public sin like that is setting a trend that it’s OK and I’m not with them in the slightest. I’m of the opinion that people of good conscience are supposed to speak out, disparagement is called for.

All sin harms the Body of Christ. When anyone sins, it damages all of us.

I’m not point at you specifically CM, but Catholics in general seem to have forgotten the doctrines of shared suffering and shared redemption, and the fact that we are one body. What one does to wound himself, even if it is behind closed doors, wounds Christ and therefor all of us.

There are no victimless sins in Catholicism. We are all in this together.

You are sounding dangerously close to advocating collective salvation.
 
We should be praying for the Episcopalian situation, not making fun of them. Yes, their “church” ecclesial body, has been making some unfortunate decisions. Yes, their church is dwindling. Many of their members are, no doubt, suffering.

If we want to attract more of them to the fold, pointing fingers at them and laughing isn’t the way to have converts. Surely, Christ would want us to show love and consern for them, be there to council disenchanted members.

Oh, and thinking that just because Episcopalians even should become Catholic due to feeling angry or discouraged these types of situations is wrong in itself. A convert to Catholicsim would need to accept quite a few doctrines alien to them, totally unrelated to the issue of women priests, gay priests or the other recent problems that assail them.

Indeed, I would wish we would absorb many, many Epsicopalians and Anglicans, but only for the right reasons. They need to seek the Church because they are called not because they are running from a sinking ship.

No, the quote is lifted directly from the website. That is how websites (and search engines) work. Websites often provide descriptions of themselves which will be quoted by search engines. This can be done in a way so the description is not rendered publicly on the website.

If you don’t believe me, go to VirtueOnline and look at the source code. You will see the quote written into the HTML.

You are saying exactly the same thing that I said. 👋

Come on, now----it’s just an alternative lifestyle. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to marry the one they love? (Those Wolfgang Puck steel skillets with the see-through glass tops can be so sexy!) 😉
 
For those who scoff at the link in the OP the same story came up a few years ago:

I suspect that a pansexual is pretty much what I’ve long referred to as “beyond bisexual”,“trisexual”, “multisexual”, or even “try-sexual”, someone that tries anything.

Thank you for catching that. I was about to make much the same comment, and I don’t think it’s over doing it to point it out again. I’ve noticed people on this forum make comments to the effect that homosexuality is a sin, but there’s nothing wrong with it, or it hurts no one, as though God is rather arbitrary in His laws. He doesn’t make laws to be mean, or keep us from having fun.

why do you say that they are not a church in the proper sense? they are not a Catholic church, but they give to charities, pray, sing hymns, take care of the poor and sick,
have Holy Communion.
