[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That's all fine from a Church legalese perspective. Doesn't change that it was un-christ like and hypocritical and inappropriate for the Priest to inject the Church into politics. But as long as some theologians worked out the legal pretzels, you can rest self-satisfied.

This is why the Church is losing members, you know.[/quote]

Christ welcomed sinners but called them to repent. Biden is unrepentant and in a public forum. It was not the priest who politicized anything. Biden politicized his religious observance himself. As for the Church being "injected" into politics, once again it was Biden who knowingly approached the Eucharist while objectively indisposed to receive it.

As for losing members, parishes, dioceses and denominations that are faithful to tradition seem to be growing. Others, not so much. The Church is charged to announce the Gospel, not pander to those not interested in hearing it. The collapse of mainline Protestantism is an object lesson in the consequences of a religious observance driven by secular concerns. [/quote]
This. Why don5 the pseudo-Catholic posters on here just become Episcopalians? If you don’t agree with the Church, leave.

After 40+ years in the Catholic church and my entire education in Catholic schools, I finally did just that three years ago.  I have never felt more close to God and Jesus, and am so happy to be raising my children in such a faithful, loving, Episcopalian communion. 
I would really encourage those who are still trying to remain Catholic despite the deep and persistent sin within the church, to check out their local Episcopalian or Lutheran churches, and really prayerfully consider where their faith will best grow.[/quote]

Agreed! I grew up Catholic and my grandparents are still very much devout. They go Sunday, Wednesday, etc...  I took my kids to mass at the same catholic church I went to all my life, I really didn't want to, but my grandma really wanted to show them off to all her church lady friends.  After all was done and over, I got this from my son....Mom, I thought God loves everyone but today the priest seemed to say that my best friend is going to go to hell because she is gay. I am confused. That is not what I believe God or Jesus would want from us. Am I wrong?

I was so angry.....but at the same time, I know I am raising my kids to be lovely people that accept people for who they are, how they treat people ,and not who they sleep with! So, I am just set back and told him the priest is wrong and God will also be judging him one day. [/quote]
