Excellent article. Our priest ( as I am sure many or most priests ) addressed the sacredness of the marital bond today in the Sunday homily. Families as God intended them to be are the undergirding of society.Oncecthat foundations n is destroyed,society as a who,e will fall apart.:😦
 
We also had a beautiful homily about the sacredness of family, especially given the first reading and the gospel. These were great readings to open the synod in Rome!
 
Our priest mentioned marriage, but spent most of his 15 minutes on how we can lose sight of why we’re here when we spend too much time tangled up in rules.
 
Our priest gave a wonderful homily on the Sacrement of Marriage and how it is a covenant and not a contract. How it is ordained by God and no human can undo what God has joined, not even ecclesiastical powers. It is a blessing to have such a faithful priest.

It seems to me that a lot of people wouldn’t be “tangled up in rules” if they would just stop trying to skirt around or break the rules.

This American speaker explained at a New Zealand forum that having same-sex marriage enshrined in law can have catastrophic consequences for the family as an institution as well as for religious freedom.

You want to see the devastation caused by same-sex “marriage” in this country? Visit South Carolina. Especially the Charleston area. And there’ll be more to come. Gonna be a heckuva winter.

What does this even mean? That because the Supreme Court ruled that same sex marriages should be legal, that a flood happened in South Carolina some months later? That’s absurd.

The Almighty regularly uses weather as a punishment tool. Read your Bible. Especially the OT.

Seriously? I thought that God promised he would never use a flood as punishment? Something about a covenant?

At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”

Luke 13:1-5

Jesus even repeated himself to warn against that kind of thinking.

I have trouble personally linking what happened to anything having to do with the gay marriage debate. It was not even the first thing I thought of and I did not until I saw the comment you made. Just saying not trying to start anything here.

God said that he would never again destroy all mortal beings with a flood, not that he would never again use floods as punishment or chastisement for sins.
 
So, a hurricane was headed straight for DC - an extremely gay-friendly place and the site of the decision legalizing gay marriage. At the last moment the hurricane veered out to sea and DC was completely spared. But, at about the same time, torrential rains pummel South Carolina - where gay marriage was illegal and gays had few legal rights until the Supreme Court forced a change.

I don’t believe that God uses weather to signal His favor or disfavor, but if He does, you have to consider that He might not be signaling what you think.
 
Pfff. Hogwash. Everything will turn out fine. We just need another generation to see the positive - at worst neutral - effects of same-sex societal approval and raising of children, so let the social “progressives” do what they want.
