I hear this alot these days. Two men want to be married, a woman wants to control her reproductive health, our president wants to look out for womens’ reproductive rights. But we still stick to our old, tiny way of thinking.

I’ve been reading on The Deacon’s Bench over at pathos, and he makes a good point. Then I ran across this post:
patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2012/07/water-is-life-a-9-year-old-girls-remarkable-legacy/

We, as members of The One True Faith, do as our Master did, and still does. We sweat the small stuff. Because there is no small stuff. The smallest child, the forgotten homeless, the ignored hungry are all important to us. We extend our charity to the entire world, to nations, cities and homes big and small. Even the way we live our lives is, for some of us, a “little way”. So praise God.

Praise Him for the little bird that sings.
Praise Him for the little child that smiles.
Praise Him for the little bowl full of food.
Praise Him for the little book of prayers.
Praise Him for the little hill on a little country in the desert.
Praise Him for a little time spent here on Earth which we all have.
 
I can not help but strongly disagree.

When a female controlling her “reproductive health” results in the death of another living, breathing, innocent human being, our anger is righteous anger.

When a woman tries to exercise her supposed reproductive rights in a way intrinsically opposed to the moral law through contraception, then asks us to pay for it, our anger is a righteous anger.

When two men try to enter into a sinful union, then continue profain the sacred institution of Marriage by trying to call it such, our anger is a righteous anger.

We sweat the small stuff. But none of those are “small stuff.” Not even close.
 
What a touching story, Doors.

As Catholics, we believe that good acts bring about an increase of grace, and bad acts decrease that grace. The more bad acts committed, even by non-believers, the les grace there is to help us to do good acts.

How many sins are left before we use up all the grace?

Now I’m not being mad here…

Two men getting married is wrong because two men can’t have a baby. Getting married is so you can have kids. Two men can’t and two women can’t.

Women wants to control her reproductive health. I’m not sure if this mean abortion… but regardless when someone “protects their reproductive health” they are killing babies. A sperm is a human being. That’s just how it goes. If a women gets an abortion she is MURDERING a baby. That little fetus is being ripped apart inside her then ripped out and thrown away. That’s how abortion works, for those who don’t know; the fetus has each limp ripped off and placed on a table. Then the body is ripped apart and torn to shreds and taken out. Then the head is taken out and all parts are thrown away.

President supporting… well like I said. Abortion is murder. So Mr. Obama SUPPORTS** THE MURDERING OF A FETUS, A HUMAN.** This is grotesque and should make you sick that someone wants to support the murdering of innocent humans.

… Just saying.

The OP said there was no small stuff. You missed the point–he actually agrees with you. Re-read the post, carefully this time.

Technically, that’s not true. A fertilized egg is a human being, which is destroyed due to many artificial birth control forms.

Just thought you should know that to save misspeaking in a discussion.🙂

Friends, please pray for my Rosary inspired book The Joy of the Lord

You indicate you are Byzantine Catholic. Fine then, unless you have not read your catechism, you know good and well there is no such thing as the right of a woman or a man to determine what part of the ten commandments they will or will not obey or if they will or will not follow the interpretation of these moral laws ( i.e. here the 5th, 6th and 9th commandments) as determined by the Universal voice of the Magisterium. No law inacted by any government, even the Great Satan ( I’m starting to believe that), can change God’s moral law or mitigate the obligations of all ( all, not just Christians) men to follow it. You either serve God or Satan. Make your choice. Yes, that was a prescious video, it has absolutely nothing to do with your gripe. Are you under some delusion that Catholics are not charitable or perhaps you think we should be supporting a regime that does all it can to destroy the religious freedom and liberty of all people and to deny the right given by God for all people to live their lives according to a well formed conscience free from political, economic, or legal intimidation, threats, or force by the Secretary of HHS and the other Catholic renagades in this administration, under the direction of a Tyrant in Chief. Did I answer your question?

:tsktsk:
 
Um, the op is saying he/ she hears that a lot because they take the catholic stance. Correct?
 
Once you in a debate “appeal to authority” the debate is in reality over -so when one cites the Magisterium as the difinitive authority it really ends the discussion-

I am being descriptive not critical here-it is clear that many Catholics take the abortion issue with grave seriousness to the point, as pointed out , of calling the USA the “great Satan”-it is not a small thing

Catholics who feel this way should work to get a constitutional amendment to ban abortion-this would allow all the states to debate the issue and vote on it-3/4 of the States would need to approve it-such an Amendment would negate the Supreme Court interfering or any State laws-

It will not happen in at least the near future will it-thus those Catholics who could not live with this can move to a country that does not allow abortion-:eek:

I’m confused - are you saying that abortion is a “reproductive health issue” or that me paying for oral contraceptions for someone else is a woman controlling her “own” health, and that the president is actually “looking out” for women, or are you using satire?

Wow, I see some amazing responses already. It’s interesting the different ways people view this post. I wonder if it’s the way Protestants see the Bible, reading through without context. I think I’ll wait till Monday, after the Liturgy, to add any more. Don’t mind me.
 
So…
I am, of course, repeating things that have been said to me. Anyone who followed the link would know that my position on all of these issues is very orthodox. I was pretty amazed at how many folks got their internet raeg on, to be honest.

But there you go. It’s monday. I had a very good Sunday. I hope you did too!
 
communicate… communicate… communicate… see how hard it is… the OP supports the catholic / natural law… but was written in a confusing way… wow. we should learn from this… communicate… communicate… communicate… count to ten…
Tune In - to the Holy Spirit; Turn On - to Jesus Christ; Drop Out - of the culture of death…
 
I have to strongly disagree on this issue. I’ll vote at any point in time against gay marriage because I care about gay people. I believe has a Roman catholic that acting on homosexual tendencies will lead you right to hell. As a Roman Catholic I’m supposed to love my neighbor as I love myself. If I’m supposed to live that way then why would I want laws to be passed in Congress which will give homosexual people the opportunity to ruin their lives and lead them into hell. I would love it if no one went to hell so why would I want laws to be passed to let my neighbor to have ETERNAL SUFFERING. It’s not acceptable how our society works.Now murdering innocent infants is alright and now ruining the beautiful sacrament of marriage that was given to us by God to bond the union between a man and a woman is now being destroyed. The primary reason of marriage is to have children and teach them God’s word. You can’t do that when a gay couple is adopting children and living their whole life against the Church. There are plenty of happy gay people living their lives as Catholics married to the opposite gender. Gay marriage is wrong or any homosexual activity is wrong and as Catholics we should all believe that ,but people dont want to follow God’s word and people want to do what they want to do. This is all I want to say on this topic. Peace and God Bless

Hi,

If we are talking about God’s grace, I don’t think we are ever in danger of using it up!:heaven:

Well said. Assuming that God’s grace is something that “runs out” is, I think, limiting the eternal. However, He is our Father, and like any good parent will not hesitate to provide needed correction. I believe He has done so in the past, and He will continue to do so.
 
Gosh the OP seemed to be pointing out that it’s ***only ***the BIG STUFF that gets the sweat.

great post

getting mad over nothing
