    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father, Well, if the unique complimentary nature of the marital act cannot be grasped by you, then so be it.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Meth, The different biological parts that complement each other cannot be given to each other in the marital act if it is a same-sex act. When these come together it produces a sacred moment. And this moment cannot be produced by a same-sex act.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father, For one, the biological make-up of the act is unique. That marital act is unique and for many thousands of years people seemed to believe that humans were specially made to do that act in a special relationship. This giving of one part to another part to become one cannot happen...

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Wannabe, Just because there are poor heterosexual marriages out there proves nothing.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi meth, It's not possible because under the RCC's teachings the gay relationship simply cannot even conduct the comeplete self-giving marital act.

    Brain Dead Indianapolis school officials ban selected religious websites

    Hi Father Heathen, If some of the students wanted some time to pray, would that be allowed in this public school?

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father Heathen, I think it refers to the complete giving of the self to the the other person that can only happen in the marital act. I think that is what is meant by the 'uniqueness of friendship.' It's more than just procreating. The coming together as one in this total self-donation...

    Hi Father Heathen, Could students proselytize to other students? Could a student hand out tracts in a public school?

    Hi Father Heathen, See my response to wannbe, #73. No.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Wannbe, The question of couples that cannot procreate comes up. The uniquness of the friendship between the husband and wife is there and that is why it is the only relationship that can have sexual intercourse. And even if this does not produce life the character of the relationship of...

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Meth, I answered the best I could, the question is bogus because governments and private organizations are completely different.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father Heathen, What an absurd straw man of what the RCC teaches about procreation. You don't believe Catholics actually believe any of that do you?

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi dark, I believe the complimentary nature of the relationship is unique and can produce an union of one flesh that a same-sex relationship cannot. Well, obviously as Catholics we are called to love. And we love homosexuals and the Church teaches that they should never be oppressed or...

    Hi Smoke, Well, that makes more sense.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father Heathen, The way you describe what would be a beautiful human baby being brought into this world as just another 'screaming snotling' pretty much confirms your anti-life stance to me. Isn't your stance on overpopulation also anti-life? You want less human life around, more human...

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi dark, The Church does recognize the unique situation where a couple cannot procreate but still affords the special connection that only a man and woman can have as they become one. Yes, you have shown a complete ignorance of the teachings of the RCC regarding homosexuality yet your...

    Hi Smoke, Still waiting, but I will always continue to research and learn about these issues. My relation to the truth is based on the number of posts I make. Thanks for the advice.

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi Father Heathen, It is interesting that some people here actually prefer non-life to life. I prefer life over non-life and the act that produces life in a completely natural way is heterosexual intercourse. Thus, the superiority of heterosexuality compared to homosexuality. If you don't...

    Priest who supports gay marriage will not submit

    Hi dark, I take that is an affirmation that homosexual sex cannot produce life. I'm sure glad my church doesn't depend on your rather narrow opinons. This just shows your ignorance of what the RCC teaches about homosexuality. We don't slander, oppress or discriminate against homoexuals...

    Brain Dead Indianapolis school officials ban selected religious websites

    Hi Father Heathen, At what point is the line breached. What if a Wiccan reads about Islam in a public school and then wants to become a Muslim? Or an atheist reads information about Christianity in a public school and then wants to become a Christian? What if the information being consumed...
