[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Catholic by birth and attended Catholic school all my life.  I think we respect the church, but respectfully have to do what is best for us and our families while not hurting anyone else.  For example, I wouldn't have an abortion, at least I don't think.  It is not black and white for me, there is a lot of gray.  I've never been in a situation like rape or incest or severe birth defects that will cause pain to my child.  Our teachings are clear: we do not judge others.  People's decisions are between them and God.  Most of my Catholic friends think in a similar fashion.  Same with gay marriage.  I don't agree, but I don't judge them.  I have gay friends who I love and I have attended 2 gay marriages and they are fantastic human beings.  Much better than some Christians that openly judge, judge, judge.[/quote]

You "don't agree" with gay marriage but you attended gay weddings?[/quote]

Yes, internally it doesn't feel right.  But it is legal and I don't judge other's choices, they are not hurting me or anyone else.[/quote]

As a Catholic, I would not attend a gay wedding, for these reasons:  http://catholicstraightanswers.com/can-i-attend-a-same-sex-wedding-ceremony/[/quote]

That is an opinion not a Catholic teaching. You could also not attend a Catholic wedding if you chose based on any number of reasons, for example if you knew one party was committing adultery. That would be your choice based on your belief system, but the Catholic church does not say to not attend these weddings. [/quote]
