That may yet prove not to be so funny. .

@Philip James Merry Christmas to you too! .

Hiya Phil, I'm afraid I sometimes fail to make clear the points of some of my remarks. I have no doubt that the situations you mention are included. But the main point of the letter from the bishops to the Pope that precipitated the new document with regard to blessings was that of same-sex...

It's a very good point that unclean animals are not food at all. .

The King of glory chose to become human, living in a simple and unimpressive environment. He deliberately hid His divine glory so that people wouldn't be attracted to Him just for His impressive appearance. He avoided showing off wealth, seeking worldly fame, or trying to be important in the...

I've seen it a time or two. I used to be quite a hopeless cinephile in my youth. A Merry Christmas to you, my friend. .

I was just watching "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story," which is essentially the pilot movie for "The Waltons" TV show and spotted Sheriff Bridges depositing cocktail peanuts in his red-colored soda pop. Boy, does that bring back memories. .

All of which I agree with in principle, but none of which helps me to deal with a non-hypothetical case. (5-year-olds are closer to having a substantially functioning frontal lobe than a 3-year-old, which is what we were talking about before—some of this kind of stuff is good to know if you're...

Fair enough. I wouldn't venture to toss my hat into a "sinless Judas" ring. I was merely responding to the technical challenge. :) .

This precludes the "as far back as.." scenario, btw. .

I don't know what "same level" means and I can't crawl into someone's head and determine when the line between temptation and sin is crossed. It just seems to me that we do far too much speculation as to this area of moral activity and I'd rather caution others to be safe rather than sorry...

You are now perfected in Christ. My wish and prayer is that the LORD will come so close to you as to shut you in with His perfect love entirely as you wait to hear His own sweet voice literally calling you be with Him forever and to know also, even as you are known of Him. We shall behold Him! .

Nice. That's very encouraging. You don't have to say everything that pops into your head, you know. :rolleyes: .

Bummer—he's gone. I was starting to like him. :cool: .

I like your signature. :hearteyes: .

MOG and BOL are not the same people. They have very distinct personalities. .

No, I don't. Unless you think I could equate a boy playing with a doll with lying with a man as with a woman or lusting after a man in his three-year-old boy's heart. What are we doing here, SS? Because it seems somewhat like evil surmising against a 3-year-old to me. And I think I could manage...

Thanks for your civility, Mary. And you're entirely welcome. But do you honestly think this current news item would be on anyone's radar if it were only about irregular situations that didn't include LGBT actors? Because I really don't think so. And it all tends to muddy the waters as to what...
