What 10 Priests Say About Gay Marriage

Fail…Gotta love seeing grown men mocking others’ deeply held beliefs with terms such as ‘infantile’? :ehh:
Everyone knows the truth, though some sadly ignore it and pretend imagination is reality. It is good to see unity of that truth from those leading parishioners and knowing those persons are faithful to the Church.A good display of truth & honesty.
Marvelous! Spoken from a basis in Natural Law, the Church, and as one priest noted “First Principles” from which everything else must result. Two and two will never equal five even if the person making the claim is sweet and kind and we don’t want to hurt her feelings.10 Catholic priests were recently asked to write roughly 4 sentences on the topic of “gay marriage”.

I certainly think so. “What 10 Priests Say” is a whole series, this is just the third one. They did one on Contraception and one on Video Games as well.Is this a good site? I have never referenced it before and will check back for more words of wisdom.
The one on video games is another thread on CAF, which stimulated quite a lively discussion as I recall.I certainly think so. “What 10 Priests Say” is a whole series, this is just the third one. They did one on Contraception and one on Video Games as well.
To be more clear, the switch was made when the gay movement responded to anti-gay harassment commonplace in the mid-20th century by using the slogan “Good As You” at parades, and as such, “gay” came to become identical to “homosexual.” Eventually, heterosexuals tried to “reclaim” the word by turning the word into an anti-gay insult, so we’ve come full circle.Well, it turns out to be a little more complicated. The word was sexualized as far back as the 1400s, and generally described heterosexual sexual immorality (i.e. free, unfettered, happy, joyous, partying, letting it all hang out, etc). The straight connection with libertines and lascivious behavior easily lent itself to the other kind. And by the mid-20th century, the switch had been made.
I’ve hung out with Fr. Peter Junipero Hannah. Can’t say enough positive things about him.I certainly think so. “What 10 Priests Say” is a whole series, this is just the third one. They did one on Contraception and one on Video Games as well.
Interesting as I particularly appreciate his contribution. So he is your parish priest or in your area? I saw many familar names on this list. But had not heard of Fr Peter Junipero Hannah.I’ve hung out with Fr. Peter Junipero Hannah. Can’t say enough positive things about him.
No, I met him through the Western Province of the Dominicans. I don’t know if he’s been assigned to a parish, he was just ordained and I have mainly known him as Brother Peter Junipero until recently.Interesting as I particularly appreciate his contribution.

Thank you I will watch for his writings.No, I met him through the Western Province of the Dominicans. I don’t know if he’s been assigned to a parish, he was just ordained and I have mainly known him as Brother Peter Junipero until recently.

Although I am in full agreement with Fr Junipero’s statement, I think you have misinterpreted several things."Fr Peter Junipero Hannah from California
It is an infantile idea that two persons with the same reproductive organs could contract a marriage, but I don’t think the “solution” to this recent political juggernaut is focusing sights on it in red-eyed condemnation. The idea of “same-sex unions” only came about because of a prior failure in heterosexual marriage. In this new era of the Church’s life in the Western world, I think Catholics would do well to not get overstrained about the evident social disorders all about us, but focus instead on living faithful, humble, and devout lives from within, beginning with the family. The spiritual and intellectual energies ignited in this way from within, will naturally work outward and—according to God’s providence—affect the culture as they will."
I agree with this. People, Christian or otherwise, are too caught up in winning a legal battle against homosexuals having the same liberties as heterosexuals.
In reality what we have is a cultural war, a battle of ideas, that can only be won on the cultural battle field and not in a court room.
I don’t think you are. Fr Junipero is taking the focus off the symptoms of the problem and asking what are we doing wrong. His answer is “Family”. I would go further and say there is also a lack of community and too much individualism.Although I am in full agreement with Fr Junipero’s statement, I think you have misinterpreted several things.
Well here is an obvious one, homosexuals cannot be married by the state in some countries. And therefore cannot experience the same legal benefits that heterosexuals have because of state marriage. Emphasis on legal benefits because thats all gay marriage is about.I don’t know what “liberties” heterosexuals have the homosexuals do not have. Maybe you can explain what you mean?
The term is necessarily relative unless you live in a theocracy. State marriage involves more than simply reproductive organs and is subject to change as society changes.Thus if Joe and Bob want to get “married” and they make each other happy…well why not? Of course given that marriage was based on the biological reality that a man and a woman are necessary to create a child, it’s absolutely absurd to call their relationship marriage. But I can understand why those without any real understanding of marriage in the context of history, tradition, sociology and biology think the term is relative.
How are they destroying religious liberties? Is the Catholic church being forced to marry gay people? I don’t think so. Perhaps you are just offended by any legal system that does not adhere to Catholic moral beliefs about human sexuality and otherwise. The problem is, a catholic legal system will never prevail in anything but a Catholic theocracy where everybody is Catholic.Further the gay activist cohort is using court decisions as a cudgel to destroy religious liberty in this country. That is their ultimate goal and I believe must be fought.
