[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that Fr Martin’s quote has been exposed here his supporters will scamper away.[/quote]

Do you mean this quote:

[i]Next, when speaking to a male questioner recently, Martin expressed the “hope [that] in 10 years you will be able to kiss your partner or, you know, soon to be your husband”. [/i]

I had never heard of him before this thread, but I’ve practiced Catholicism my whole life and I don’t see anything wrong with that quote. [/quote]

Acceptable!?! It is an intrinsically sinful union.[/quote]

How is it intrinsically sinful? [/quote]

I should add that I do not support abortion because the fetus is obviously killed and women are often harmed psychologically and sometimes physically. Typically because we as a society refuse to offer financial support to poor children.

I do not support the death penalty or euthanasia because they also take lives, typically people we as a society find inconvenient to have in our midst.

Who is harmed when two men marry?[/quote]

Are you a humanist or a Catholic?

What man is harmed when you slander the Lord?  No man directly.

God’s law is violated when two men marry and the victims are the men themselves who may face eternal damnation.[/quote]

So no intrinsic harm. Only picky-choosy interpretations from the Old Testament. Do you eschew shellfish? Never indulge in a bacon cheeseburger? Not wear wool and linen blends? [/quote]

My beliefs are not "picky-choosy interpretations."   My beliefs are based on the Catechism of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.[/quote]

Ah - extra-Biblical beliefs.  So this means all those gay ans sexually abusive priests are going to hell, and all the clerics who covered up for them too.[/quote]

I am happy for abusive priests to go to hell.  Of course, that’s not mynpurview.[/quote]

What IS in your purview? I hope you aren’t working with young people and infecting them with homophobia.

I’m a straight, middle aged, actively-Catholic mom and I find your views on homosexuality repugnant. [/quote]
