Why would a straight person leave the Catholic Church over our teaching on gay marriage?

Legalizing a diabolical, grotesque parody doesn’t make it any less of a diabolical, grotesque parody.
Just sayin’

Just because you find gay things icky doesn’t make them evil or grotesque. It only means you find it icky. I hope you don’t mean to say you think gay folks are evil?
 
Same sex “marriage” is a diabolical, grotesque parody of Holy Matrimony. It is utterly condemned by Divine Law. For any Roman Catholic to support it is heresy. As far as what non-Roman Catholics think about it, who cares?

Cool. Good thing it’s not matrimony. Do you share the sane opinion about other folks who get married outside of Catholicism?

What you seem to be saying is that you are entitled to be bigoted and prejudiced because of their wrong actions.

Bigotry and prejudice are not fruits of the Holy Spirit, and it seems like you are justifying a negative attitude because others are behaving badly.

There’s anger, yes, but only truth in that statement. If you disagree with something, point out why it’s false…from a Catholic perspective of course.

Do you believe that the New Testament is Catholic?

James 1:20 “for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God”

What does work the righteousness of God? Love does.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Cor. 13: 4-8

“Lara is patient, Lara is kind. Lara does not envy, Lara does not boast, Lara is not proud. Lara does not dishonor others, Lara is not self-seeking, Lara is not easily angered, Lara keeps no record of wrongs. Lara does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Lara always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Lara never fails.” I Cor. 13: 4-8

Love is what transforms, not bigotry, prejudice, or anger.

I don’t really care what pagans, atheists, apostates, etc. think about it. They serve the devil.

Not irrelevant: do you oppose all non Catholic marriage?

Actually marriage has existed in many cultures for longer than matrimony. So again; do you oppose all non Catholic marriage?

Recognizing that a particular group is offending truth is not bigotry.

I agree.

How we go about recognizing and responding to it may be.

In California schools, the homosexualist agenda-driven curriculum is just now coming into full deployment. Means I have to be ever more vigilant what I read to children. I have to vet everything thoroughly–even math lessons aren’t immune from the creeping diabolical rot.

We are certainly surrounded by a great many things that require salt and light!

I would hope that you care, as this is the culture in which you find yourself, and which needs to be transformed by Love and Truth. Jesus instructed us to love our neighbor - those are the ones that have fallen prey to brigands and are lying naked in the street, bleeding.

What an odd attitude for one who is called to bring Christ to the world. I am sure glad the Apostles did not have this attitude about evangelizing.
 
Didn’t say they shouldn’t be evangelized. Said they are serving the devil. All the more reason they should be evangelized.
 
Irrerelevant. Same sex “marriage” is a diabolical, grotesque parody of Holy Matrimony.
 
You said you didn’t care what they think, doesn’t sound like you plan on evangelising.

So; do you disagree with all non Catholic marriages?

Very true. We are in battle…Our Lady said the final battle will be over marriage and family.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; 16 above all taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
 
You seem a wee bit unable to answer. It’s pretty simple; do you think all non Catholic marriages are parodies?
 
You earlier pointed out that there seems to be significant bigotry and prejudice about this minority population. You wrote this as if it’s a bit of a mystery to you, as if to say people should place the sexual sins of a gay couple on par with the sexual sins of straights and then be patient. What the heck? We’re all sinners.

If that’s all it took, I’d agree with you. But as a group, the LGBT have an agenda that is well-thought out and executed with precision. That is the part that gets us rightfully angry. Anger in itself is not a sin. I listed those things which are insidious. I won’t write them again for AndrewAxland is still working on refuting them.

Their agenda isn’t even known by all of them and certainly not by many Catholics. I wouldn’t be surprised if LGBT-supporting people are paid to hijack these threads on CAF.

Thanks for personalizing Corinthians for me but it sounds better in the original. Love begins with truth. How can it “rejoice with the truth” if that truth is unknown to so many?
