Aren't you the same guy who has spent the last six years yelling about the bias and lies of the MSM?



That's why I asked the question.

Is this any different than the church making a "business decision" to be kind of ok with divorce?

It's still really not about gay people. It's about people that start to question the whole reason they belong to a place that is openly antagonistic about an issue they would otherwise not really care about.

We should gather the Nation of Islam's take on Homosexuality. Do you think Homo's are being blessed at the local Mosque? They should be as the Left and Islam have become interesting Bedfellows of late.

I don't see any counterargument though.

Farrakhan is pretty quiet for quite a while. Too old? Is there another?

It's not my thing, so I don't follow them closely. From what I've seen, he still speaks and MANY listen. He's still charismatic and articulate at 90 years old.

Quote:
The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if the blessings weren’t confused with the ritual of marriage.

The new document repeats that condition and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman. And it stresses that blessings in question must not be tied to any specific Catholic celebration or religious service and should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union ceremony. Moreover, the blessings cannot use set rituals or even involve the clothing and gestures that belong in a wedding.

But it says requests for such blessings for same-sex couples should not be denied. It offers an extensive and broad definition of the term “blessing” in Scripture to insist that people seeking a transcendent relationship with God and looking for his love and mercy shouldn't be held up to an impossible moral standard to receive it.

“For, those seeking a blessing should not be required to have prior moral perfection,” it said.

“There is no intention to legitimize anything, but rather to open one’s life to God, to ask for his help to live better, and also to invoke the Holy Spirit so that the values of the Gospel may be lived with greater faithfulness,” it added.

...

The Vatican holds that marriage is an indissoluble union between man and woman. As a result, it has long opposed same-sex marriage and considers homosexual acts to be “intrinsically disordered.” Nothing in the new document changes that teaching.

...

It said ultimately, a blessing is about helping people increase their trust in God. “It is a seed of the Holy Spirit that must be nurtured, not hindered,” it said.

It stressed that people in “irregular” unions of extramarital sex — gay or straight — are in a state of sin. But it said that shouldn’t deprive them of God’s love or mercy. “Even when a person’s relationship with God is clouded by sin, he can always ask for a blessing, stretching out his hand to God,” the document said.

Thus, when people ask for a blessing, an exhaustive moral analysis should not be placed as a precondition for conferring it,” the document said.

That's right. I don't agree with him but he's charismatic as hell. He's a funny and talented guy and he's as entitled to wacky beliefs as anyone.

Hell, my brother-in-law the priest refused to attend my wedding reception because we weren't married in the Church, but now he has permission from God's representative on Earth to bless gay couples? How does that work?


Your BIL refused to attend his sister's wedding reception because the wedding was not a catholic mass? He sounds like a real treat who is making up his own rules. My uncle was a priest and as I recall attended MANY non-catholic weddings and funerals.

Those punks acting like jerk-offs at pro Palestinian uprisings are most likely gay or trans themselves and do not know crap about the death sentence that Islam directs for them if found out.

Best pope ever. Anything anyone can do to make Christians and every fucking religious person on the planet questing their beliefs is good. Fuck religion, fuck god, fuck all the weird ass people that worry about that shit. Fuck them all.
