gay christians?

I personally think this Pope is a bad communicator

Forgive me, BOL (Nice to see you, btw), but a man as educated and traveled as Pope Francis being a bad communicator is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around. Is he reputed as such?

Hasn't it been shown that he hasn't (technically, at least) "signed off" on the concept of same-sex union? I thought it had. :)

What does this have to do with all ours sins being forgiven, past present, and future?

Are they? Or are they not?

That is the question.

When we sin, the Lord disciplines us. I might say, "I am forgiven," but that won't stop the Lord from disciplining me when I sin.

Aww.... Bless your heart, and the seat you rode in on.

You can defend it all you like. I couldn't care less beyond a feeling of sadness for you and Catholics like you.

Let me put it like this, so that you and @Marymog and anyone else might understand my perspective if interested...

I don't concern myself with regard to the question of if people are gay, or transgender, or addicted to drugs or alcohol, or if people are Mormon, or Catholic, or nudists or ride blessed motorcycles. It's their (your) business. I think of them all the same way. -They are messed up, mixed up, and misguided in their thinking and their practices. But it doesn't really affect me. If they (you) want to wear a dress and high heels, or a robe and fancy hat, or strap on leathers--- I don't care. I don't participate.

If any of them want to play, make believe, and pretend something or other-- go ahead. If you want to believe one thing or another? -Feel free. I don't play along. For a man to think he's become a woman and to go fix his face for tea with the Pope-- it's mental illness. I'm not going to join that tea party. I'm not going to play along. And I'm not going to play along when a man puts on a long flowing robe and pretends that by saying a few magic words he turns bread into flesh. Your game of pretend, is your own. Not for me, thanks anyway.

Don't tell me I have to. I don't have to condone it in others or twist myself into a pretzel to explain myself, nor do I have to defend the acts and actions of some sick man I follow. As with all the rest-- I'll leave that to you.

Summary of your post: All were invited to His table and into His Church. But for you, not all are invited.

When we sin, the Lord disciplines us. I might say, "I am forgiven," but that won't stop the Lord from disciplining me when I sin.

But our past, present and future sins are still forgive then right?

 

[Bob Estey]

After the Lord disciplines us, he forgives us.

 

[Dan Clarkston]

After the Lord disciplines us, he forgives us.

If He is withholding forgiveness than they proves all future sins are not forgiven.

That's enlightening......regarding their "Cricket" position...

And als.....Here is a Video that is addressing a similar issue, regarding a different demination... and this Brother understands Romans Chapter 1.

Same issue, just a different group...
-

Got it....Us Catholics on this forum should have immediately notified you and @Mr E what we thought of what the pope said. Then we would be OK with you? If we did that then you would respect us more?

 

[Marymog]

I get it. You have no honest reply to post #158. Just more stupid insults. It's time to put your bigotry on ignore.

@Mr E fits the dictionary definition of internet troll.

 

[Marymog]

Dear Unconscious Mary,

Wake up. Your Pope has done more to damage traditional Catholic 'values' than any (other) activist ever could.

Thanks trollman,

One mans words cannot do damage to The Church kidoo! His words may start a vicious news cycle for you and your ilk to jump all over and feign that it is more evidence that The Church is going down the wrong road....for a lack of better words. For you see trollman, one man does not make doctrine for The Church.

curious Mary

Isn't that what people say when someone disagrees with them?

Accuse them of being a troll to try and get the moderators kick them out?

I've seen this of boards I'm on related to computers and software.

So this is your answer regarding the Pope's decision to allow Priest's to Bless "Gay Couples", ...

Notice "couples".. and not just each of the persons.... but the "COUPLES", the Married COUPLE, are blessed as a COUPLE.

"but this does not mean that the Pope is condoning Gay Marriage, just because He's blessing them as a Gay Married Couple".

And you sit there and pretend this "cult of mary" is "of God".

A.) Never.

Final answer.

Sounds like if somebody can't win a debate, the next tactic is to accuse them of being a troll and hope the moderators kick them out!

Nope behold, I already answered that....

The pope didn't make a decision to allow priest to bless gay couples. He can't arbitrailly make that decision for The Church and change the doctrine/dogma of The Church. What he did do is give a Directive on Same-Sex Blessings which emphasizes the person, not unions of same sex couples. He has been very clear on gay marriage.....but you fell for the mainstream media's hype.

What I posted to you was an answer to your embarrassing support of the 'crickets' post made by an internet troll. You fell into his trap.

There is no cult of Mary. That is a fantasy term you and your ilk have created. We, just like Jesus and God does, hold Mary in high regard. We think she is blessed and we call her that.....Just like Scripture says she is.

Nope, Mr E. wasn't disagreeing with anything. He was trolling. Take the time and go back and read his/her earliest posts before you come after me with no evidence. Then get back with me.....

I wasn't coming after anybody.

I've seen lots of people accuse others of being a troll in efforts to prevent others from speaking.

It comes down to somebody doesn't like what someone else is saying, so they start calling them a troll

She's desperately trying to make it personal. That's what desperate people do when their argument is weak. Distract, divert, and run from discussion and dialogue.

It's what 'social media' tried to do when truth got in the way of propaganda. Silence infidels! If you don't agree with us, we will cut out your tongue.

This is the most recent Catholic version of it (followed by that earleir version of it already recorded in history)

I guess you need to reach out to Him and inform him that you know more about it..

As this is the reality.

""""""Pope Francis >>>>>has granted his formal approval <<<<<<<allowing Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples so long as they do not appear to endorse their marriage, marking the church's most permissive decree yet on the issue of same-sex couples."""""

They’re delusional and in complete denial.

It’s so sad!
