[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Can you choose two godparents that are the same sex?

OP here, priest got back to me and apparently the answer is no. I have to say I think this is ridiculous rule.[/quote]

THIS is the ridiculous rule that bothers you about Catholicism?  Oh honey.  [/quote]

OP here,

That Catholic church has other rules that I have deep disagreement with, and that I think are wrong.  At this point, DH and I have chosen to stay in the faith and advocate for change within.  I wouldn't call a rule like denying sacramental marriage to same sex couples "ridiculous'.  I'd call it wrong.

This rule, is just stupid.  It's not evil.  It's not something I am going to waste my time advocating against.  It's just a dumb rule.  If the rule was that every kid has to have a god parent parent of each gender?  Yeah, maybe i could understand that, although I'd disagree.  But you can have just one, so that's not it.  Someone suggested it's because they think of the godparents as a "couple", but I know plenty of kids whose godparents are siblings to each other, and the church didn't blink at that.

So, yes, this is a ridiculous rule.  [/quote]
Um your church is actively fighting against the expansion of lgbt protections in Italy.  I find nothing redeeming in you staying to “advocate for change from within”.  Do better.[/quote]

Are you saying that your advocating from without is more successful?  I mean, if it was so easy to change it from outside, you'd have done it by now right? [/quote]
Just saying that you sound like you’re bragging and making sure others are aware of your church’s current doctrine.  Don’t get offended when people point out the contradiction and possible hypocrisy in your association.  You can do better.[/quote]
