    In reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality

    mf saying they want to focus on equality while at the same time saying gay couples blessings, something that would bring EQUALITY, isn’t a priority… make it make sense 🤡

      They believe marriage is for the sole purpose of procreation, which is their little loophole. They’re so weird about it that I’m surprised they’ve never pushed fertility tests as a pre requisite before allowing a marriage ceremony.

        If they truly believe that then why are they all celibate? They are chalk full of pedophiles too. Why I hate any post praising the pope. Fucker also lives like a king. Wonder how many of the popes are pedophiles themselves.

          Priests cannot marry. Marriage and the Priesthood (Holy Orders) are the only sacraments that are mutually exclusive.

            Eastern Catholic priests can marry, actually. There are married Catholic priests out there right now, and not because they converted in from Anglicanism after they married (though those exist, too), but fully cradle Catholics who were married before their vocation. Somehow this has not exploded the church or whatever. It is inconsistent and ridiculous.

          Bats are birds, as per the Bible. Donkeys talk, as per the Bible. Slave owning is cool as long as you don’t beat them to death, as per the Bible.

          There’s plenty of stuff in the Bible that’s utter garbage.

                Leviticus 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

                2 Peter 2:16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

                This is a miracle, not a statement that donkeys speak (literally SPEECHLESS DONKEY)

                Numbers 22:28 The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

                Again, A MIRACLE

                Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

                  The entire Bible should clearly be disregarded over the whole bird thing. Unless of courses you are seriously telling me that the ancient hebrews didn’t use our western classification systems for animals, but that would just be ludicrous.

        You yourself have insisted that marriage is between man and woman and that sex is only acceptable for procreation, and only after marriage.

        You view homosexual people as sinners. You pretend to love them while oppressing them. Their relationships are not hurting you. There is no god to offend.

            Your actions to delegitimize their relationships is oppression.

            Stop lying, coward. You’re a homophobe.

              Example: the level of homophobia within sport continues to be a huge issue

    Am I misreading? leo is saying he does NOT agree with the cardinal saying it’s fine for same-sex marriage?
