[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, and I haven't read through this thread, but I have to say that I'm happy to hear this. The church should not be bending to the ways of popular culture. It follows God's teachings, which are clear on this issue.

Not returning for a debate on this as I know that 99% of you don't agree with me, which is fine. But there are some of us who are pleased that the Pope did not cave to political pressure.[/quote]

Where is it clear?[/quote]

Paul writes about it in Romans. The Old Testament also condemns homosexual practice, and in several places defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman.[/quote]

Scholars disagree on how to read 1:26.  Some say it is a prohibition against sodomy, regardless of genders involved.  So, not clear.[/quote]

Catholics care what the magisterium thinks, not what any random scholar thinks, so yes it is clear.  [/quote]

Of course it's clear if you assume they are always right.  The problem is that even most Catholics do not assume they are always right.[/quote]
