I’m not sure that’s correct . Gay marriage was legalized in a number of states before the supreme court’s decision.
 
I don’t know if participating in all the forums as opposed to just a few is an indication of anything.

It isn’t our business.
 
Salvation Army was founded in England and she is English (may/may not have something to do with it) but it has all been worked out and she has agreed to perform at halftime.

My concern is even though this has been discuss on these forum in 2004 when the Salvation refused to pay insurance for married couples, have they evolved. Today they write that they have changed that policy and do pay insurance for gay married couples.

So does the Salvation Army, which is a religion, condone gay married couples? At one time you could not marry outside the Salvation Army but they changed that law.

The Salvation Army has been very cautious because they do not want to offend donors.

dvdjs, are you a practicing Catholic?

Yes.
That does not change the reality of same sex marriage in the US.
Likewise that reality does not change anything about Holy Matrimony in the church.

What makes it a "good"question, or, given my profile page, even a question at all?

Why rely on faulty recall when you can just look on my profile page,

And what, in any case, does that have to my religious practice.

You are begging the question. In a breathtaking way at that.
I frankly find it amazing that you suggest this.
With reference to this particular thread - do you think that it against church teaching to acknowledge the reality of same-sex marriage in the US?

Maryland, Washington and West Virginia,I believe, actually voted by the people.

The other states it was done by court or legislature, bypassing the people.
 
Getting back to the news story, apparently the Sallies said they don’t discriminate against gays and Ellie will play the show after all.
I’m sure at this juncture of her career when she’s not exactly a household word here in the States,she doesn’t have much leeway to be making big gestures.

The Church does not acknowledge a legalized pairing between two people of the same sex as a “marriage.”

No doubt the Church recognizes that laws have been passed that permit two people of the same sex to obtain a license, say vows, and live as a “married couple” with the same benefits that married couples have historically experienced.

But the Church recognizes that it is impossible for two people of the same sex to have a true marriage.

That is not a response to what I asked.

That is.

Having answered it in a manner consistent with my posts, do you think that this answer ought to open you to questions tour fidelity to the Catholic faith?
 
This is one of the things that I hate about the leftist LGBT agenda. If you don’t agree with them, they will do whatever they can to threaten or harass you until you bow and comply.
 
The nation has affirmed many things in the past. In the case of the U.S. : slavery; in the case of Rwanda: genocide.
 
Their support for abortion might also offend donors. Saint Vincent de Paul Society provides for the needy and is pro life as well.

They do support abortion in cases of the life of the mother.

The problem is that in order to donate to a Saint Vincent dePaul store, one might have to travel 40 miles while Salvation Army stories are plentiful and close by, as well as Goodwill and Savers.

One can donate cash to a local food pantry or to a church that has a Saint Vincent dePaul food pantry.

I am sorry if it appears that I am questioning your faith. That is between you and God.

What I meant to question is whether you are Catholic or if you belong to another Christian community.

dvdjs, I’ve read many of your posts over the year or so that I have belonged to CAF, and it doesn’t seem to me, at least, that you agree with what the Catholic Church teaches about many social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. But it’s hard to tell from an online site, so again, I’m sorry if I am totally misinterpreting your posts.

Are you perhaps playing devil’s advocate to encourage your fellow Catholics to think thoroughly about the various political issues? I sometimes have a hard time when people do this, as I have difficulty with subtlety. (Perhaps that’s why I prefer humor like the 3 Stooges rather than Friends–I just don’t “get” Friends!).

Yes, you’re right.

I never even thought of checking the profile. It seems that as I get older, I become even less computer-literate.
