an acquaintence said, that the Pope is finally welcoming homosexuality and abortion into Catholicism?

How do people actually live like this? Does it hurt to be this stupid?

there is, to my knowledge, nobody who is not welcome into the Catholic Church. The doors of some of them are open 24/7. Show up. Come in. Sit down and listen, it doesn’t cost a thing.

The idea that somehow gays and people who have had abortions or support abortions are not or have not been welcome into the church is a level of ignorance that can only be accurately described as superhuman. Everyone is always welcome.

The church condemns that behavior, but it condemns other behaviors as well. In the last year, I have done things that make sucking dick seem like a sunday school activity. Everyone sins. I do more than most, and I get my ass to church each sunday because I feel like I need a lot more help than most.

If you feel uncomfortable in church because you support abortion or you’re gay, then, that’s on you. Nobody ever told you to stay away (No Christian, anyway) and nobody ever told you you aren’t welcome.

The bottomline is the abortion supporters and the gays want their philosophies to be integrated into Catholicism, and they won’t be. So they are trying to destroy what they can’t infiltrate.

The pope’s message was not about welcoming people. Everyone is always welcome. The pope’s message, dumb as it is, is that we should not make the dialog about abortion and homosexuality. But then, of course, it never has been.

Morons. I’m finding it hard not to agree with Malthus here- we might be better off without humans if this is the best team we can field. (OK, not really, but damn)

The old Exploder has sat now most of these last couple years. Recommisdioning it has been a bit tricky but Partner has helped immensely by giving it a two week shakedown. It still needs a blower resistor and a temp sending unit but it is roadworthy. I want it as near to perfect as i can get before i hand it off, but mostly i want to hold back her driving a little longer. The best part of my day is that 1/2 hour in the car with her each morning.

The Austrians threw out most of the SDP and the majority government is now conservative. Who’s a sad panda!!! The local PBS affiliates are, that’s who! They were all set up in the social democrat party waiting for the overwhelming victory celebration and the HQ is an empty building behind the reporter.

Of course a conservative there is still a commie bastard here, but it’s an interesting development.
