JBO called out faith a water cult religion?
There was a troll on a different forum who went by JPT that had that same attitude. Another community made them a Moderator. I'll edit if I remember that name.
It's interesting to watch folks speaking out against the Catholic Church's position on the gay question.
Catholics, and many Catholic leaders are condemning their Pope's statements, which he made on behalf of the organization.
Several Bishops, priests and evangelical leaders like Franklin Graham have spoken out against the Catholic position.
Add a Jewish chief rabbi to the growing list.
Do you know who has been silent? Members here-- @Marymog @Illuminator @BreadOfLife @Philip James ...... crickets.

Actually he is a part owner of a website that he and another pretty much destroyed.
Apparently sucking ALL the oxygen out of a room has consequences.

Do your secular sources say there are no exchange of vows, no rite or ritual in such "blessings"??? Many years ago, I had the priest bless my motorcycle. It didn't involve a media circus. The Pope did not change the doctrine of Matrimony. He thinks we shouldn't shoot our wounded. Condemning to hell all the sexually confused is not a Christian approach. The Pope didn't choose the name "Francis" because it looks cute.

People afflicted with same-sex attraction bear a cross. It's a a mission field.
Courage
Encounter Christ. Discover yourself. Grow in holiness. A Roman Catholic apostolate for men and women who experience same-sex attractions and those who love them.

You had the priest bless your motorcycle.
You should have asked him to forgive it's sins so you can someday ride in Catholic heaven.

It’s because most people are either TOTALLY IGNORANT or completely DISHONEST about what the Pope wrote on the matter.
Everybody is blathering on about how he now “approves” of same sex unions.
This is completely FALSE. But these idiots will continue to spew falsehoods because they didn’t actually READ the document.
NOWHERE does is approve of same sex unions.
NOWHERE does it bless same sex unions
NOWHERE does it tell anybody else to approve of OR bless them,.
The prayers - or blessings spoken of refer to INDIVIDUAL PERSONS – and is a plea to God for help that this person live a holier life and to OBEY God’s commands.
As a matter of fact - it explicitly states that same sex unions CANNOT be blessed.
So much for what the mainstream media – and all those ignorant religious leaders have to say . . .
It's okay. You don't have to say anything. I understand the concern that Catholic leaders must have and the fear of speaking out against abominable positions their Pope takes. Bishop Strickland got booted out for exactly that.
Funny how people who so readily condemned Twitter for censorship, now want to pat the Pope on the head for worse...
The Vatican's investigation into Strickland came after the 65-year-old bishop had been posting social media messages and making other announcements critical of the Pope's support of "radical left-wing changes" to Church teachings.

Didn't Francis once say atheists will enter Heaven?
Now even some Archbishops are openly defying the Pope and banning priests under their charge from obeying the Pope's directive.
We need more brave Catholic clergy and laypersons alike to take a stand.
Catholic Archbishop Tomasz Peta and Bishop Athanasius Schneider have banned priests in the Astana, Kazakhstan, archdiocese from blessing same-sex couples.
In a statement released Tuesday in Russian, the bishops in the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary took a stand against a push by some in the Church to start blessing the couples.
"We exhort and prohibit priests and the faithful of the Archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana from accepting or performing any form of blessing whatsoever of couples in an irregular situation and same-sex couples," the statement read in English.
"Such a blessing directly and seriously contradicts Divine Revelation and the uninterrupted, bi-millennial doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church," it continued. "With such blessings, the Catholic Church becomes, if not in theory, then in practice, a 'propagandist' of the globalist and ungodly 'gender ideology.'"

It's not relevant anymore....
I checked the site and where he is still a member he doesn't moderate or even admin anymore. I don't know anything about whether he still has ownership or not....but not moderating is a big big deal. It's like a really bad joke.
What's funny is that one of the guys I liked as a fellow mod is now one of the chief mods...the owner didn't like him for some reason....I stood up for him but it didn't help. He got rid of him....but now things have changed. It's slowly growing again. But it's still mostly a dead site anymore. Maybe 2½ pages of replied to threads for today.
It used to fill all ten pages.
*sigh*
Some of the work on the site I did is still up...forum rules and etc. Format has changed a little. Nothing major but whatever.
I'm out clean....
