Can Anyone Explain 'Why gay marriage?'

[glassjester]

You brave enough to let me ask some questions?

I would not mind.

 

[glassjester]

1) Why do you see the Pope as the only representative of Christ?

I don't. For example, priests represent Christ when they hear confessions. Fathers represent Christ in their homes, the domestic church.

Maybe you mean the more specific papal title of "Vicar of Christ."
That title is a reference to the Pope's primacy as the successor of Peter.

 

[ok doser]

Perhaps. He has free will. And he chose to reject God.

Anyway, I don't think Satan entered Heaven. He was created there, already. Right?

That's my understanding


So man loses his free will when he enters heaven?


:think:


Is free will unclean?

 

[glassjester]

That's my understanding

I don't think so.

:think:


Is free will unclean?

It can be. It doesn't have to be.
Most of the angels choose not to sin. Humans in Heaven will freely choose not to sin - just like the angels.

 

[glassjester]

I'm not an unlearned retard. stop insulting my intelligence.
god
'Vicar' means to be the representative of Chriat- the human representative of Christ

I meant no insult. Don't be so eager to take offense.

 

[glassjester]

Yeah well, it's cool.

I pronbaly have more in common with you than these godforsaken 'Madists' on this site- I'm telling you, they are all blasphemers.

lain:
And this is Protestant to Catholic

It is very likely that we have more in common than not, doctrinally.

 

[glassjester]

Except for the man you venerate lain:

The Church has a hierarchy. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[glassjester]

I have a hierarchy

Ok...

 

[glassjester]

Tell me, what's a mother to do when being real don't appeal in the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way

'I made a G today'

But you made it it in a sleazy way

Sellin' crack to the kids ~I gotta get paid

Well hey, ~that's the way it is

In West Philadelphia, born and raised...

Yeah, that's probably the only rap I know.

Yep. And?

And? Why wouldn't you think it important to explain to non-Catholics the distinction between a gravely immoral trespass, and a mortal sin? Most of them don't have the slightest clue as to this distinction. :idunno: When they hear or read Catholics mentioning mortal sins, they think one thing, when the truth is more nuanced.

You saw that they don't think any sin can be a rejection of sanctifying grace. They think salvation cannot be lost no matter what.

They reject the very notion of mortal sin.

One thing I give Roman Catholics credit for is that they don't deal wit the gay or transsexual thin- it's not going to happen, you see- you cannot be either and be a Christian :thumb:

You've been drinking again

Hello High Cherub and [MENTION=6445]glassjester[/MENTION] and dosey ( [MENTION=17501]ok doser[/MENTION] )and [MENTION=83]Nihilo[/MENTION] and all.....

Morning News:-

UK:
In the UK a retired Army Officer has won a High Court Petition to obtain Equality for Gay Marriages. The widowers of Gay spouses will, in future, be eligible for the Pensions of their late partners. This right had somehow slipped through the legal sieve, but now it is supported here.

MALTA:
Catholic Malta has voted to accept and support Gay Marriage by 66 votes to 1 vote. The vast majority of people and leaders in Malta are Catholics, and it could be that recent kind words from the Vatican have been heard as a discreet 'go ahead' in this matter?

Pope Francis gave no such "go ahead."

He has never once spoken in support of homosexual "marriage."

Sure......
But let's see if the Vatican expresses any disappointment with the new Maltese legislation...?

The archbishop there was speaking against that legislation before it even passed.

 

[eider]

The archbishop there was speaking against that legislation before it even passed.

Well then, the ArchBishop there was a single voice, clearly unheard by the thousands of Islanders who mostly happen to be Catholic.

I don't expect that there will be any excommunications.... surely?

Do you know what excommunication is?

My question sounds condescending - I don't mean it to be.

How will the archbishop deal with those legislators who supported the perverted legislation?
