where ever decay and disorder festers it will produce a garden of weeds.. The Church needs a strong commander to purify its cadre.. and consolidate its defenses.. as it faces an onslaught of a most determined Enemy..fiercer than it has seen for 500 years at least.
And like it or not the fate of Western and Christian Civilization depends on the man who will wear the shoes of the fisherman.. its all coalescing now.. hell hounds howling at the gates.
Wrong.. i believe homosexuals.. or more accurately people entangled in homosexuality.. have souls.. free will.. conscience.. an ability to amend their lives. I've never spoken of the redemption because that is something in God's hands not my own. I can no more affirm homosexuality than i can murder or thievery.. or suicide.. since it involves a deliberate decision on the part of the participant to contavene natural and divine law.
You are correct that i condemn homosexuality for what it is... a failure of the will.. a submission to pride.. lust (especially power lust).. carnality.. sloth.. self idolatry.. promiscuity. But i didn't write the rules.. they're imprinted on everyone's conscience.. no matter how submerged or convoluted by sophistry they have become.. they can still be accessed. That's why homosexuality causes such neurosis, confusion and misery amongst its practitioners.
As for the marriage bit.. don't have any illusion that the new Pope or any of his successors will re-institute this for priests in the Latin Rite.. or ordain priestesses.. or rethink the Church's position on homosexuality.. to become more inclusive. It's not going to happen!
PFT; the above is proof you have NO clue what homosexuality is so stop making a a$$ of yourself by saying you do.
Actually you have no clue, period, and really the wisest course for you now is to STFU before you make more of a fool of yourself.
The Pope's office is, IMO, worthless. When a pope does nothing but brush aside pedophile priests and make sure almost none of them come to justice, when a pope puts the tradition of MEN before that of his supposed God, when that same pope actually leads Men in the guise of being some sort of mouthpiece for a MPD God, then why should anyone take said pope seriously?
What's sad is that so many are still duped by this charlatan and his BFF's (at least on the outside; on the inside I'm sure they're just as manipulative, conniving and devious as any men wanting power) to think that they speak for "God".
God doesn't need a mouthpiece. If you believe in God, and have the belief and will to hear, then that's all you need.
(FWIW, I'm not Christian or Catholic or any of that mainstream krap and stuff like this is precisely why I won't ever be.)
