So is the Pope saying gay couples can get married in the Catholic Church and openly become priests now?

I think they've had enough trouble in the Catholic Church with gay, pedophile priests; open or closeted.

Does make one wonder what the Pope is talking about he and other Popes have been very accepting of gays. It's the young boys that have been messed up by members of the church. Not sure what this has to do with spreading the gospel, this is the Pope's job, not political brow beating.

Kind of sounds like me might be sending it in that direction. I don't think it's been mentioned however.

Nope I guess Pope Francis has a different definition of marginalizing. And remember no sex unless it is with a spouse of the opposite gender, and if one of you were raised Catholic and baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit by a Catholic then not only being married is enough it has to be in a location by an officiant that a local Bishop approved of.

You seriously need to read books about history. I have no idea where you got your crazy information, church, right wing conservative nut jobs, but it is wrong. Terribly, awfully wrong.

Half? Are you crazy? Prove it. Prove it. Prove it.

And even it that were true, do you think that absolves the sin of slavery from White slave owners?

How unique. The first poster that I've seen who compliments Bill Cosby for drugging before raping.

"Hating" is synonymous with Christianity. You guys hate minorities, hate different religions, hate immigrants, hate gays. It's clear in how you mistreat them.


Can't fool me. Christianity in practice is less about love or trying to be good people and more about control and feeling of superiority over others.


We'd be better off without all this junk.
Well said.

There are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, and atheist homophobes. The single largest sect out of any of those blocks has formally declared it is not sin.

Skepticism aside, that is progress.
I want to give you credit. Although you and I often disagree, you're not a wacko and you pretty much stay on topic.
