Interestingly, though, it is sad that Catholics take such staunch stands again homosexual marriage, but do not express the same outrage at fornication and adultery, which are as bad or worse. Catholic parents overlook their children fornicating with the opposite sex, but would lose their minds if the fornicating was the same sex. Intercourse is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman, according to Catholic teachingsâŚNO EXCEPTIONS.
I think this is a little misplaced. You, me, Protestants, atheists, you name it â anybody can stand up and say cheating on your spouse, or heck, even cheating on your âsignificant otherâ is wrong. This is an everyday thing, it is not controversial, and there is broad agreement here across the lines. A Miss USA who said as much would not generate scandal.
We could also stand up and say, âSexual relations outside of welock are wrong.â We do not get so much broad agreement here, but we can and do say it and urge our kids along this path and nobodyâs surprised or really presumes to interfere with our teaching or our right to say it. A Miss USA who said as much would not generate scandal.
But this woman said she believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman. She did so in the most inoffensive way, to boot, by saying that if you feel otherwise, fine, but thatâs her personal belief. This is verboten so say, and got her rebuked and called filthy, insulting names by the gay activist judge.
You cannot deny support for gay marriage in many social circles in America today without facing castigation or even ostracization. Among our betters, the âeliteâ of academia, of mainstream media and Hollywood, in corporate America, and even in most corridors in Washington these days, it is dangerous thing for you say, a risky thing to do. It is verboten.
