I didn’t say “all”. What I am saying is that the scholarship you so greatly admire would not even be possible if Catholic priests and nuns did not make it a priority and available for the average person.
The Catholic Church has never been afraid of understanding or discovering God’s creation.
In turn, the Catholic church has the deposit of Faith, the Magisterium, and centuries of scholarship of Saints and Popes. All supported by Scripture.
To discount these teachings because one has unsubstantiated notions that differ is a bit vain, IMHO.

Perhaps enroll in a good RCIA program fro clarification on certain teachings.
This can be done one on one with a priest, if you seek out a Spiritual Director.

Seek the truth. Don’t simply seek a church that agrees with YOU.

I am still Catholic so there you go and I am sure many scientists and historians would object to your view of scientific history

I probably need to find a different Catholic Priest. The one I currently see during mass doesnt like speaking to people much. At least, when I approached him with some questions(the nature of the Church, my feelings) he just told me to pray and be at peace.🤷

You could make an appointment. Someone else can correct me if I’m wrong but once you start attending another church, particularly partaking of communion at another church, you’re not supposed to receive the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic church.

I was away from the RC church for about two years, then started attending services again because I need the liturgy in my life more than once a week. I go up for a blessing but don’t receive because that would be deceptive, and sinful.🙂

The gay issue has been big in the United States since the Stonewall riots in the late sixties.

There has been both violence and widespread fascination surrounding this issue from the very beginning.

It’s not just U.S. Catholics, it’s everyone in the U.S.

Young people who become activists and don’t have a sense of history, don’t fully appreciate the danger they’re putting themselves in.

It’s rare, but people are occasionally murdered for this.

The cause of justice never comes without blood being spilled unfortunately.

Gay people who are not activists also put themselves in danger and occasionally get murdered because of their sexual orientation. 🤷

I favor civil unions. Inheritances being passed on among gay couples, health insurance between civil spouses, and other forms of financial and legal equality should be universal. The only difference should be that the word marriage is replaced by the term civil union or civil partnership. This is unacceptable to activists though, because couples legally joining together is not what this is all about. It’s about destroying Christianity and it’s about destroying the concept of family. Once these ideas are accepted as the new norm among up and coming generations, there will be no going back. It should be noted that gay couples generally don’t get married when it’s legal, and relatively few actually do.

It’s a ruse - that’s not what this is all about.
 
Whether homosexuals have been discriminated against, beaten, murdered etc. has no bearing whatsoever on the morality of homosexual behavior. Sinful behavior against those against those promoting sinful behavior does not mitigate either parties sin.

Separate but equal doesnt work. Call them all civil unions and leave the word marriage for churches.

Amen, estesbob, Amen. However, violence and discrimination against homosexuals *has * been used to stir up emotion and help convince the public that “marriage” between two people of the same gender is a good and noble thing. What manipulation!

Why shouldn’t different terminology be used? I don’t see why “separate but equal” wouldn’t work just fine.

😊 see brown vs. board of education.

I don’t think I completely understand the comparison.

Homosexual union doesn’t have to be called “marriage” to have the same legal rights as marriage.

Gay marriage in some form is eventually going to happen in the U.S. no matter what. We all know that; it’s indisputable.
