[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we just don't understand people who profess faith to a church whose rules they happily disregard and whose preaching is blatantly discriminatory.

I say this as a lesbian whose ILs are all observant Catholics. They have embraced me as part of their family, yet they go to a church that says my relationship with their daughter is an abomination.

How do you reconcile that?[/quote]

I have a hard time with that, that this is said by people in the Catholic church. But the people are saying this not God. I don't believe God believes that. I think the people in that church are wrong... that loving another person is not a sin.

BTW the church also thinks being fat is a sin, and being vain, and being jealous, and premarital sex, and divorce, and .....

So they think I am an abomination too because I covet my neighbors <fill in the blank>.

That is the thing about the Catholic teaching - everybody is a sinner. Every single solitary one of us. So? We love each other anyway. We are not supposed to judge each other - it is between you and God, it is between me and God, it is nobody's business.  [/quote]

Thank you, this was helpful. I still find it odd that my family sits through sermons and recites creeds they don't believe. It just seems hypocritical and pointless. [/quote]
