I think it’s safe to say the Royal Family will not follow these switching Anglicans.

What a fine bunch of new Catholics not!

So much for joining a church that accepts everyone. For those that can’t accept equality, safer to head for one that doesn’t believe in it.

So now the Anglican church is too gay-friendly? I’m guessing these guys weren’t from the Anglican church in Uganda.

There are tens of thousands of progressive Catholics, millions, really. The converts I know are neither homophobic, nor are they misogynists. Moreover, if you take a look at the catechism, you’ll discover that despite all the rules and regulations-yes they are burdensome sometimes-the official teaching of the Church recognizes personal conscience as the final arbiter of moral decisions.

Quote: sometimes the official teaching of the Church recognizes personal conscience as the final arbiter of moral decisions. At least until The Pope checks their personal conscience of moral decisions and then he is the arbiter of the moral decision.

I guess some folks can’t bring yourselves to get alone with others who are different. To me. Catholicism is the true Christian religion, but no without some legitimate criticism. There may Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Christians out there. Personally. I wouldn’t find having a crossdresser in the pulpit as long they preach the word of
God, but that would probably in you mainline and conservative churches.

The problem with discussing this issue is that those who discuss it usually have much deeper issues of disagreement. What makes a think good or bad? Are good things simply things I like and bad things, things I don’t like?
Disagreement one, Is scripture trustworthy? Issue two, does the Church teach truth? Issue three, what part does my conscience play in my culpability for sins committed– if I don’t agree with the Church, does it stop being a sin?
Until we can agree on these issues, nothing else which flows from that agreement can be settled.

There was only one faith for 1500 years. There is but one faith, one baptism, one Lord. Even Jesus in his prayer in the Gospel of John instructs that we all be one as there is one shepherd, one flock. God could of parted the Red Sea in the OT but even then, there was a leader on this earth. As the Pope is God’s servant on this earth, there is also one faith. The Anglicans are doing the right thing by returning Home!!
