And yet I think that refusing to go would push his brother further from God. As long as you’re not participating in the wedding, what’s the problem? Go to show your love, and your acceptance of your brother as a human being, even if you don’t accept some of his choices.

I agree but am facing a similar problem. My brother is getting married (to a women) but it is in a Baptist building. (sorry, no disrespect to protestants but I have trouble calling anything non-Catholic a church) So, should I go even though I don’t see the marriage as being right, for lack of a better phrase.I think that anyone who attends is condoning the action, even if not spoken, but by mere attendence. I would advise against it.
I would say that he should love his brother but to tell the brother (in private) that he cannot condone it and cannot in good conscience go. Polite and loving but a strong sign.

You can still show love for your brother without going to his “wedding”. Same sex marriage is a travesty. The sooner he understands that, the better. It doesn’t mean you don’t love him, if you don’t attend. It means you don’t condone homosexual marriages.

Yes we too will be judged,whether we inform someone that he isDoesn’t this go against Jesus’s teachings?
Matthew 7:1
Do not judge, or you too will be judged
disobeying God and putting his soul in danger, or we claim to
look the other way because we want to support him in sin.
Matt 7:1 in context is not an absolute ban against making a judgement. It just teaches us not to do the things which we
rightfully condemn. In EZEKIEL the Lord warns us that if we fail to
tell the wicked man of his sins and he died losing his soul.God
will hold us accountable. If I really love my brother I would
do everything I can to point him to Salvation.

Very true.This is unfortunate, But Jesus wants us to be judgemental.
to discriminate between Good and Bad according to his
Gospel. Jesus clearly said if you are not for me you are against me. All people exercise judgement all the time. The only reason the judgemental label is used is if someone disagrees with somebody’s opinion.
It would not be a wedding ceremony. To attend would be an act of getting into agreement with a devilish scheme. There would be evil prayers and a false gospel. More or less like a black mass worshiping Satin. Would a Catholic attend such a thing?
No. Never.

WRONG.This your friends brother! He should go to his brothers wedding! This event obviously means a lot to his brother. To not go, would be extremely judgmental - the opposite of the teachings of Jesus.
We are called to judge rightly.
Would you stand by and lend support to your brother if he was robbing a bank?
What if he was committing rape? Would you support his actions?
John 7:24
**“Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly." **
1 Cor. 2:15-16
**The spiritual person, however, can judge everything but is not subject to judgment by anyone. **
**For “who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to counsel him?” But we have the mind of Christ. **

So if your brother was the Garnd Cyclops of the KKK and was holding a rally you would attend? I mean you wouldnt want to cause dissension in your family and most certainly would not want to appear judgemental.Doesn’t this go against Jesus’s teachings?
Matthew 7:1
Do not judge, or you too will be judged

Are you kidding?This isn’t a matter of affirming people’s values or choices. This is a matter of attending your brother’s wedding. Why put a strain in their family and on their relationship so you can impose your religious views?
God doesn’t care about showing “support” to anyone committing grave mortal sin. Nothing comes before God - not even family.Luke 12:51-53
51 Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation. 52 For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Good Lord - how much further can someone get from God than by participating in homosexual marriage? Sodomy is one of the sins that cry out for the vengeance of heaven. It’s violence AGAINST God.And yet I think that refusing to go would push his brother further from God. As long as you’re not participating in the wedding, what’s the problem? Go to show your love, and your acceptance of your brother as a human being, even if you don’t accept some of his choices.

Is he Catholic ? Is he getting a dispensation ? Does he even know he has to do so? Are there any other impediments such as previous marriages?I agree but am facing a similar problem. My brother is getting married (to a women) but it is in a Baptist building. (sorry, no disrespect to protestants but I have trouble calling anything non-Catholic a church) So, should I go even though I don’t see the marriage as being right, for lack of a better phrase.
It’s not quite a similiar problem. We have an option with this type of marriage. If going to this type of marriage will enable us to work with the couple to bring the marriage into the church then we may go. We just can’t be an official witness to it. With a homosexual marriage we hope for it to be broken up. See the difference?

He was Catholc, he is now Baptist, so the problems are, I believe, similar. What I want to know is, is it okay to go to a protestant wedding?Is he Catholic ? Is he getting a dispensation ? Does he even know he has to do so? Are there any other impediments such as previous marriages?

No, because the KKK is a terrorist organization. It has a record of bigotry, terrorism, and violence towards people that aren’t white.So if your brother was the Garnd Cyclops of the KKK and was holding a rally you would attend? I mean you wouldnt want to cause dissension in your family and most certainly would not want to appear judgemental.
I was also asked if I would support rape, if you can believe that.
I do not stand for discrimination, so I am in disagreement with the majority of posts on this thread.
Your friend’s brother isn’t asking him to attend a gay orgy. He’s asking him to attend a ceremony where he will pledge his love and life long commitment to his partner.
Are you seriously comparing that to rape, bigotry, and violence?

Well now. There is more to it.He was Catholc, he is now Baptist, so the problems are, I believe, similar. What I want to know is, is it okay to go to a protestant wedding?
Its not just a protestant wedding is it. Its a Satanic Ritual hateful to God. That is not okay to attand.
Dont do it. You will be sorry. Its straight from the fires of hell. Stay as far away from it as you can.
