The holy thing to do is what Jesus would do….respect all of God’s creation including gay and straight people. The blame lies with so called “conservatives” who love condemning anyone different. You are the true Un-Christians. I would say ant-Christ but that calls to mind the “church” that loves to look down on those Jesus most loved. They should look at what they are “conserving” The church still holding to culture of ancient imperial Rome. The exact opposite of the reign of God.

Blossom, you got ‘ridiculous’ right, but you applied it in the wrong place. Same sex attraction may be involuntary, but homosexual activity is a choice whether you agree or not.

Yes, God is the judge and the judgment has already been entered. Scripture, the word of God, says homosexual activity is an abomination in His eyes and those who engage in homosexual sex will not enter the kingdom.

I think this whole thing is ridiculous. Homosexuality is not a choice. God made all of us in his own image. He did not make mistakes. If two people love each other and intimacy is involved and God is present in their relationship.. then who are we to judge it.. God is the only judge. So with all due respect to the powers that be in the Holy Roman Catholic Church.. God is the judge not any of you. So kindly take a seat and play nice.

I thought of that exactly…..and almost wrote it all too- though not so eloquently
Then I thought…..oh, the Sin of Pride.
Those who follow the truth should stand up and be the TRUTH.
Pretty soon this ridiculousness will subside…..God has a plan and I have faith.

BTW, it occurred to me last night that if we want to call on pastors to speak on morality, we never hear homilies explaining the immorality of detraction, calumny, and rash judgment in all their forms. I think those, much more than sexual morality, are areas in which the faithful are unaware of Church doctrine.

Note: I neglected to stop the italics after the paragraph on same-sex “marriage” in my previous post. The remainder is not part of the answer to that specific question and so should not have been italicized. Sorry.

Sorry if I gave the impression that I am personally familiar with the planning for the service. I was simply responding, based on the stated theme, to your concern about tolerance of sinful actions, and I kind of “got on a roll.”

Although I do not know the plans, I think it highly unlikely that anyone will pray for tolerance of sinful sexual activity. I would expect that it will be for acceptance as individuals in a society in which gay-bashing and anti-gay bullying still exist.
