If same-sex couples believe that marriage will bring them happiness, let it be. I’m not going to fight it. I feel a deep love for gay people, just the same way I love straight people. Some worry that same-sex marriage may destroy the family, I doubt it. All we really need to do is preach the bible and those who light is ignited will turn from all evil.

Thank you for demonstrating the real opposite of love, apathy.
 
Firstly, Robert, as one Catholic to another…there is no such thing as “same sex marriage”.
Our Church defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Therefore the concept of same sex “marriage” is impossible. You should re-title this thread "Homosexual Relationships defined as marriage is OK with me" and go from there.

If you really feel any love for homosexuals you would not accept and promote homosexual behavior by legitimizing their relationships as marriage. If you channel your love in a way that discourages such behavior you will be extending life expectancy, promoting health, and reducing suicides. All good things that a loving person would want for those he loves.

It may sound like apathy, but there are probably plenty same-sex partners who truly do love each other. Christ would have no problem with this as long as both are chaste. The seeds of love can spread rapidly in a same-sex marriage.

Again, let God worry about it if the couple is engaging in sex. A chaste, same-sex marriage can abound in great virtue.

Nowhere did I mean to imply that I was in favor of gay sex; I’m not. Nor am I necessarily for gay marriage, I’m not. But get real and see that the gay agenda has a powerful force backing it. Same-sex marriage will become an acceptable norm worldwide.

I will agree.
I have seen divorces destroy many more marriages that gay marriage/homosexuality did.

If they actually love each other, they would not damage each other souls by violating God’s law.

They would seek to live celibate lives and encourage others to do the same.

That is why the Catholic Church is the institution on the planet that is the most loving of homosexuals, and those who seek the legalization of homosexuality are the most hateful.
But get real and see that the gay agenda has a powerful force backing it. Same-sex marriage will become an acceptable norm worldwide.
And if environmental destruction has powerful forces backing it, and became the norm worldwide, would that mean that it should be embraced by those who love God and care for His Creation? Or pornography?

The same could be said for abortion or ignoring the poor. Since they are accepted should we just say “Let it be” when we see whole nations starving as local warlords steal their food from UN docks?

Just because there are powerful forces arrayed against us doesn’t mean that we should just roll over and die. I for one will not stand before Christ and say “We couldn’t win so I just threw in the towel”. If I am the last voice crying against homosexual unions, abortion, trodding on the poor, etc. then at least when standing before Christ I will be able to say “Lord I tried to my dying breath”.

How do you figure? It seems like a complete oxymoron since: 1) Same sex individuals are physically incapable of marriage and 2) A chaste marriage generally includes sex, which would not be “abounding in virtue” for homosexuals.

Yeah, that’s how many would respond, but I believe we would do better saving individual souls rather than to weep and cry over a change in marriage laws.

Your reply doesn’t make sense.How can you on ine hand be concerned about saving souls,yet on the other hand say,you aren’t concerned about changes in marriage?

Continually living in sin does not bring someone happiness. We should all know this, only by repenting of sin will we have true happiness.

Preaching the Bible includes frowning on homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage is an affirmation of that. Same-sex marriage will not destroy the family, it is the consummation of many previous developments that have placed individual autonomy over the protection of the natural family over the years (divorce laws, contraception, abortion, pornography, etc. etc. etc.). Once something is already mangled beyond recognition it’s no surprise people no longer care to defend it. So, you are right in a way, same-sex marriage will not destroy the family, heterosexuals have already succeeded at doing that. Same-sex marriage is just the icing on the cake (a gay wedding cake perhaps?)

It is not an either or proposition. That’s a false dichotomy. Despite the fact that child murder is legal I do not just weep and cry. I do what I can to change the laws while also trying to support individuals to make the choice to turn away from evil. The same with marriage laws, etc.

Conforming the laws of a nation to the laws of God is actually a GREAT way of bringing about the salvation of souls.

Which is why the Church has shown great interest in doing so throughout the ages. as our bishops do today.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness: Isaiah 5:20

In North America…probably.

Worldwide…nope. You’ll be in Purgatory long before SSM is welcomed in the Islamic world, or Russia just for starters.

Let me ask you. What does the bible teach about the homosexual lifestyle/marriage? Correct me if I’m wrong but God sent fire and brimstone upon Sodom because of their homosexual sex and lifestyle. Paul says something about how they (active homosexuals) will not inherit the Kingdom in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. They should be loved. We show that love by preventing them to sin not stand by and promote it. If someone wants to kill another do you hand them the gun? Of course not. Whoever causes one of these to sin it’d be better that a millstone be tied around their neck and cast into the sea. In other words we go to hell to. We must preach the true Gospel which is one of love and repentance. Repent and believe in the Gospel EVERY word of it (which I need to work on also).
