    In reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality

    mf saying they want to focus on equality while at the same time saying gay couples blessings, something that would bring EQUALITY, isn’t a priority… make it make sense 🤡

      They believe marriage is for the sole purpose of procreation, which is their little loophole. They’re so weird about it that I’m surprised they’ve never pushed fertility tests as a pre requisite before allowing a marriage ceremony.

          Or a man and his many wives? Including slaves?

          The bible is human bullshit. It exists to normalize abuse. You took the bait and we all suffer for your failing.

              When did that change?

              And you’re still ignoring the slavery problem.

              Abram’s wife couldn’t conceive, so he fucked her slave. God condoned this action by sending an angel to tell the victim to return to her abusers and bear their child.

          Bats are birds, as per the Bible. Donkeys talk, as per the Bible. Slave owning is cool as long as you don’t beat them to death, as per the Bible.

          There’s plenty of stuff in the Bible that’s utter garbage.

                Leviticus 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

                2 Peter 2:16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

                This is a miracle, not a statement that donkeys speak (literally SPEECHLESS DONKEY)

                Numbers 22:28 The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

                Again, A MIRACLE

                Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

                  OOPS

                  Exodus 21:20 “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.

                  Exodus 21:21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.

                  if the servant is “beat to death”, the man will be punished

                  and as Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, it mostly doesnt apply to us anymore

                  The entire Bible should clearly be disregarded over the whole bird thing. Unless of courses you are seriously telling me that the ancient hebrews didn’t use our western classification systems for animals, but that would just be ludicrous.

        You yourself have insisted that marriage is between man and woman and that sex is only acceptable for procreation, and only after marriage.

        You view homosexual people as sinners. You pretend to love them while oppressing them. Their relationships are not hurting you. There is no god to offend.

            Your actions to delegitimize their relationships is oppression.

            Stop lying, coward. You’re a homophobe.

              Example: the level of homophobia within sport continues to be a huge issue

    Of course he is. See, gay couples have less kids, which will further reduce the catholics numbers… cause most religious people were indoctrinated as kids. The number of adults who willingly become catholic if not raised catholic is tiny in comparison. So they need to keep the gays among them pretending to be straight and having kids for show and proof.

    Am I misreading? leo is saying he does NOT agree with the cardinal saying it’s fine for same-sex marriage?
