    True2Live, here is the nub of the matter for me: As this isn’t science, do we trust our heart in these matters or do we trust our head? It is a great debate. For myself, I never trust my head over my heart. I have a hard time seeing any wisdom whatsoever in Fr. Mike’s words.

The religious institutions are the major cause of systematic child abuse. Please leave me alone, I can't be bothered with people that think Chaldean mystries, bastardized by Judaism, and then rebastardized by Roman Catachism them re bastardized by Prostantism to take the money from poor people to build mansions to live in and gold temples to worship in.

The counter arguments are lame. I have herd Father Mike speak to this topic and has done a better job on his own. Because of the weakness of the "counter arguments" I shot at least three holes through them. I would love to see a legitimate debate with Father Mike with stronger arguments and a real opposition. I have to say in closing, I love father Mike, you are amazing thank you for speaking to this subject that hurts many Catholics.

    " How is marriage a right?" The government literally puts you down as partners legally, allows you to have shared wealth, tax benefits and even social security. It's not defined as a privilege, neither are there conditions set other than another consenting adult willing to marry you. In what possible universe is this not a right? Even inmates like Charles Manson retain the right to marry, But I don't see you complaining about that. " It is a sacrament, it goes beyond the self" Yes, as in a right belonging to two persons.

    I appreciated this SO much! It gives you great tools to better understand what truly marriage is. An Argentinian author called Nicolas Marquez comes to mind, he did this analogy: “You are not discriminating same sex attracted couples because you say they should not have access to marriage, otherwise it would be like saying we discriminate a blind person if the state does not grant her a driver’s license. They just do not have what they need in order to have access to marriage”.

    To many Catholics, some of the marriages performed in church are not "true" marriages. Marriage is so that 2 may become one and create a family. Therefore, if one person already has kids with someone else or if neither person intends or is able to have children, it's not a "true marriage". For example, two people who have never been married but have children with other people, people who have been widowed but had children in their previous marriage, people who may not have children but are too old to procreate, people who are unable to have children or someone who has had an annulment but already had kids within the annulled marriage. None of these folks should be able to get married in church.

The moment it starts affecting me, now I have to stop feeling and start thinking." (Not at all dumb - it makes clear how relativism is an expectation that others will bear the brunt of effort or negative consequences for the acts of still others; it's the natural development of the self-centeredness of the Me Generation).

    I live in Africa. Homosexual rights is a matter of life and death here. The morality that you are so happy to subject yourself to, kills people. The church continues to stigmatize gays and lesbians and has been very slow to condemn the violent homophobia that is endemic in many places. But as long as you're saved and on your way to heaven all is fine, right? It's the people who are being raped and murdered who are self-centered and are forcing others to bear the consequences of their actions. Right?

In these cases the church learnt from society and seem to accept that the Bible was addressed to specific people living in specific circumstances at specific times. Modern homosexual relationships did not exist in first century Palestine or the Roman empire: the apostles had nothing to say about it, because they did not know about it. Current theology about homosexuality is just the church reading its present bias into an ancient text and in the process causing irreparable harm to countless millions. Do unto others and love your neighbour seems to be better principles to apply in this case.

Given the health risks, probably. ----------------------- " Or they had an equally poor understanding of homosexuality as they had of menstruation and made equally irrational rules about it?" They understood menstruation better than most people in first world countries do today. Look at the Mosaic law which was part of their deal with God to become a people as numerous as the stars. When one looks how this was accomplished it make perfect sense. Under the Mosaic law they couldn't engage in sexual intercourse when a woman was menstruating. Why? Because of the unlikely result of a pregnancy taking place. In fact, the only time allowed was when a man's wife was ovulating. Lo and Behold, that's the best way to insure the best chance of conception taking place. So they knew plenty about a whole lot more than most people are aware.
