Heterosexual couples have the option to "legitimize" their sexual relationship via a sacramental marriage. Your church does not, and does not intend to, provide this option to homosexual couples. I believe this is wrong and bigoted. Progressive Catholics seem to just shrug their shoulders and continue to toss money in the collection plate.

The official Catholic Church position on homosexuality, IIRC... trotsky May 2013 #3

It also says a straight person should not have sex outside a sacramental marriage. rug May 2013 #5

Don't pull that bullshit, your church also doesn't recognize same sex marriages, effectively, the... Humanist_Activist May 2013 #6

That's fact not bulshit. rug May 2013 #9

You are just excusing your church's homophobia when the fact is they don't... Humanist_Activist May 2013 #13

Don't tell me what I'm doing. You're not qualified. rug May 2013 #14

Of course that had a hand in my departure, so did their position on contraception, LGBT rights... Humanist_Activist May 2013 #15

I meant hand in an entirely different sense. rug May 2013 #16

I don't know what you mean, why not explain it to me like I'm five? n/t Humanist_Activist May 2013 #17

Let's follow some logic. 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #56

Thw first sentence (mine) has an adjective the second sentence (not mine) does not have. rug May 2013 #57

Is the second sentence false, then? 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #58

The better question is does the church have anything to do wih civil marriage. rug May 2013 #59

It seems to believe it has. 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #60

Or you could read Canon Law. rug May 2013 #61

I'd rather pay attention to what people are doing. 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #62

It's a good thing there's a link to the article in the OP. rug May 2013 #63

Yeah, that guy said that, therefore the results of the aforementioned googling don't exist. 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #64

Seek and ye shall find and all that. rug May 2013 #65

My seeking was way easier than yours. Not much of a "seeking" actually. 2ndAmForComputers May 2013 #66

It is a start. hrmjustin May 2013 #7

As I noted, it's the same position the RCC has held for quite some time. trotsky May 2013 #8

Your church treats homosexuals differently than heterosexuals. trotsky May 2013 #40

Correct--no sexual relations outside of marriage for a Catholic. georges641 May 2013 #42

Bottom line is, heterosexual Catholics are allowed to be in a committed, sexual relationship. trotsky May 2013 #43

I could explain it thoroughly. georges641 May 2013 #46

The Catholic church treats homosexuals differently than heterosexuals, trotsky May 2013 #47

It's good to get confirmation. rug May 2013 #48

What is wrong with sexual desire? Meshuga May 2013 #41

Because the church tells them they have to. trotsky May 2013 #44

I agree Meshuga May 2013 #45

If you look at the clergy the priests in the RCC are more liberal than the bishops. hrmjustin May 2013 #11

And so are the laity, okasha May 2013 #12

If they were truly "ahead of the curve" skepticscott May 2013 #18

This isn't the laity I know. georges641 May 2013 #32

And where do the bishops come from? skepticscott May 2013 #19

There are always conservative priests. The vatican wants them in charge to tow the line. hrmjustin May 2013 #25

No it's not liberal and conservative georges641 May 2013 #31

Let us be hnest that their are a lot of liberal priests out there. hrmjustin May 2013 #34

They are not free to make up their own religion. georges641 May 2013 #35

Your too rigid my friend. hrmjustin May 2013 #36

You haven't been booted from the Catholic Group. hrmjustin May 2013 #50

He's been booted from DU entirely now. trotsky May 2013 #51

Good! hrmjustin May 2013 #52

Not the first time he's been booted from DU, I think. hunter May 2013 #53

Let me just say how proud I am to have been insulted by him. trotsky May 2013 #54

He was really scary! hrmjustin May 2013 #55

Good grief. okasha May 2013 #67
