Forums - General Discussion - Catholic Church: We'll Stob Being Charitable if Gay Marriage is Passed

stof on 18 November 2009

The same chapter that says you shouldn't have gay sex also says you shouldn't eat shelfish or wear clothes with different fabrics. When will the Catholic church begin it's protests of the Mandarin and the Gap!?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Jesus said double standards are totally cool...or something like that.

Doesn't look nearly as cool as Spiritual Warfare which was a fantastic Zelda clone.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

To be fair, most Christians cite the laws of Leviticus as being for that time period, and reflect on the argument that Jesus fulfilled the law (of Leviticus), so the most important teachings are from him, as well as examples in the NT (which say that various foods are clean, as per Acts).

They have every right to do with their money as they please. The government does not own the catholic church.

"The city is saying in order to provide social services, you need to be secular. For us, that's really a problem."

I mean, that pretty much sums it up. The church isn't going to compromise on their religion so that they can continue to help people :-/ If the city says they'll just have to deal, it's the church's right to say the city will have to deal without. I mean, they've been lucky to get that much aid. If the city isn't willing to compromise, it's their problem. After all, they are voluntarily helping people, they can stop whenever they want.

Oh certainly. I don't think I've ever even heard of anyone who follows Leveticus (all the animal sacrifices would get messy). But it is often cited by those opposed to homosexuality. Actually, did Jesus ever say anything specific about the topic of homosexuality? I'm not sure.

 

@ Strategyking - of course they have every right to decide what to do with their charitable donations. We just think it's pretty shitty that this arch diocese considers helping people to be slightly less important than discriminating against homosexuals.

Haha. The Catholic Church rapes boys but Heaven forbid they have to acknowledge gay people.

I'm not super knowledgeable of the Bible, but from what I do know Jesus never mentioned shunning/outcasting gays the way the church currently does. I'm sure they could edit and pencil hate speak in fairly easily if they absolutely had to...

I read it more as the provision of social services by their particular institution to a small minority in one city is slightly less important to them than maintaining accordance with the beliefs of a one billion strong following.
