Ginny and Eric can you guess where Thomas Aquinas probably got that inspiration? From the Bible! Luke 6:27-31 "27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you." In my opinion, this is probably the verse St. Aquinas got his inspiration from. Pax Christi to you!

I think it is better to start by separating out the sacrament of marriage from civil marriage and then ask people why the govt has any business recognizing certain relationships, elevating their status, and forcing everyone else to recognize those relationships? Put religion aside and you will end up showing why Catholicism is right on this issue, i.e. children's rights.

So many advocates for same-sex L marriage” making pointless remarks here. I’ve had two long-terms homosexual relations before turning to Jesus and I lived as a gay man for thirty years, so they can’t fool me: homosexual relations are never the same as straight ones. Already the choice to purchase or adopt children is totally different from a real, heterosexual couple. And Jesus can heal from SSA, if someone really believes in Him. I know it, because I’ve lived it. From being gay unhappy atheist I am now a Catholic, burning of love for my Lord Jesus Christ… quite an improvement!

Arguments based on definitions are a waste of time as the definitions chosen often limit what people are talking about. In this case the discussion focuses on a dumb definition of marriage offered by a proponent of gay marriage. The discussion then goes on say how dumb it is and then comes up with a more traditional idea of what marriage is. The reality is that marriage is two things. It is a type of contractual or legal arrangement. In addition in the Catholic Church it is a sacrament. Now one can understand that Catholics do not want their religious idea of marriage tampered with. Makes perfect sense. However this does not mean that you should stop others from being married in a civil sense. Before Christianity marriage in the Greek world was far more commercial. The reality is that non Christians will get married all the time. Catholics have no objection to Hindu's or Buddists getting married. Why the problem with gays?

You speak in too many platitudes to make any concise argument for or against marriage. If you make something legal, it doesn’t mean that it will be helpful to you. Banning something or making it illegal have to have an enforcement metric for people to abide by the laws. You can’t force people to accept something that goes against what they were taught or have come to believe. Hinduism and Buddhism have established religious perimeters in marriage. A homosexual so-called marriage is not defined by anything other than what an individual makes it out to be at the time. You have to think about how individualisation has affected the concept of marriage as well because it is not about self gratification or pleasure solely for yourself.

If Christianity is a religion of multiplication, what is the purpose of the same sex marriage if from this union new life will not be created?

I’m in the process of becoming Catholic. I am also a gay man. This is really the one subject that has never made any sense to me. And not because it applies to me. The arguments against consensual, loving, committed same-sex relationships just don’t hold up. Jesus said that we shall know them by their fruits in regards to theological teaching. Studies have shown that denying your sexuality and participating in conversion therapy leads to increased depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Those are obviously bad fruits from a bad theological tree. I will be the first one to stand with the Catholic Church to call out promiscuity. But there is a clear distinction between promiscuity and a loving, committed relationship. It seems that the church has put these standards of living that are just impossible to uphold. Priests are required to take a vow of celibacy. But a recent study shows that most priests break that vow. And a decent proportion break it many times (both heterosexual and homosexual priests). I am falling more and more in love with Catholicism and it’s core values. But I also pray for discernment. It’s healthy to wrestle with these things. I think blindly following along is quite dangerous and detrimental to one’s being and faith. To wrestle and question oftentimes leads to a deeper faith.

Can you link that study? No one is saying they can’t have committed and affectionate relationships, they just need to be plutonic and chaste. The fruits argument isn’t strong because by it other lifestyles contrary to Church teaching can be rationalised and also a good argument can be made that it actually produces bad fruit. The Catechism doesn’t say they should deny their sexuality, but rather that ‘By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.’ (2359). The basis for the Church’s teaching is in sacred scripture, Apostolic tradition and natural law, so it won’t change. Jesus spoke against sexual immorality, the Greek word porneia, which is basically any sexual act outside the covenant relationship between a man and a woman. If I can offer one positive note to a life of celibacy, or singleness, is that you can devote yourself fully to the service and will of God, and great will be your reward in the life to come, because God will know the greatness of your sacrifice and your trial. It’s possible to gain self mastery. Many great saints have achieved it, St Paul, John, Augustine, Aquinas… the list goes on and on, not to mention Jesus himself. A man named Becket Cook, though evangelical, might be a source of encouragement to you. I’m glad your considering Catholicism, it’s sacraments and devotions especially will be a great source of supernatural strength for your journey home to heaven.

I deeply love my friends. I don't get butterflies in my stomach and clammy hands thinking about my friends. There is a unique kind of love that is expressed romantically and sexually, and these feelings grounded in sexual attraction can be a basis for a deep and rich love that goes beyond mere sexual attraction yet is expressed sexually. That's why there's a sexual component implicitly to marriage. The fact that there is a sexual component to marriage does not entail marriage must be tethered to a reproductive purpose.

There are different kinds,of love,notably erotic and platonic love. Platonic love applies to universal love, example love for children, parents, relatives and friends. It is not erotic. There are relationships that are taboo according to the holy scriptures, the bible. Erotic relationships between 1. Parents and children. 2. Siblings and close relatives 3. With dead persona 4. With married people . 5. With people of the same sex. Items 1 and 2 is incest. Item 4 is adultery. The term love and love wins is a misleading statement. It's purpose is to confuse, notably the youth and the children. That is clear as stated n the bible starting from the book of Genesis. What is happening now is partly the negligence of parents who refuse to guide their children, do not care at all or is afraid to oppose new ideas that are contrary to God's design the natural law. I think the term equality and human rights has been misused. Reak Christians must make a stand and not just keep quite otherwise secularism will dominate our values and our youth will go to a wrong direction.

What about children of divorced parents? There are probably hundreds of thousands of such children. Yes, the church doesn’t believe in divorce either, but there’s also kids born out of wedlock. For this reason, it’s ridiculous that the church thinks that the sole purpose of marriage is to procreate. Clearly, procreation can and does happen outside of marriage. There are also kids of gay parents, divorced parents, and unmarried parents and orphaned kids that need loving parents to adopt them, gay or straight. These ideas are dumb and outdated. Not to mention the harm this sort of talk causes to gay kids and teens who are not equipped to handle people treating them like second class citizens. I wonder what Jesus had to say about that.

I don't like when the church tries to say their rules are for gay and non gay couples. It's not. You will never meet gay people where they are when you pretend it's their not being heterosexual that is the problem.

In these moments, these are the traits that we ought to try and emulate. However just because Abraham shows great faith in one moment, it does not mean we should try to emulate everything that he does. Christians believe that Jesus lived a sinless life, so it would follow that we should try to follow his example all of the time. Abraham's grandson Jacob is a great example of a character who has four wives and as a result, his family deals with huge divides, rivalry and jealousy amongst his twelve sons. The ideal image that is presented in the Bible is of one man and one woman who come together to form one flesh. In cases where there are multiple wives, it is always a major plot point that causes division, suspicion, and usually exile or death from the family.

Lol, it is october 2020.

The first time the word “homosexual” appeared in any bible was in the Revised Standard Version (RSV) published on February 11, 1946. In the RSV’s translation of 1 Corinthians 6:9, the word “homosexual” was used in lieu of the Greek words “malakoi” and “arsenokoitai.” Many researchers agree today these words translate more accurately to “effeminacy,” and “pervert,” or “sexual pervert.” The decision to use the word “homosexual” instead of the accurate translations was voted on by the RSV committee. Researchers Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford discovered a letter written to the RSV committee by a young seminarian named David. In the letter, David points out the dangerous implications that could come with the mistranslation and misuse of the word “homosexual.” Dr. Luther Weigle, the head of the translation committee, wrote a letter back to David S. to acknowledge their mistake, APOLOGIZE, and commit to correcting their GRAVE ERROR. (These documents will be explored further in the upcoming documentary "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted A Culture") Unfortunately, the revised version of the RSV which replaced “homosexual” with “sexual perverts” wasn’t published until 1971 - 25 years after the mistranslation occurred. By then, other translations of the Bible had applied the RSV’s use of “homosexual” in biblical texts. The damage was done.

Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace

Legal marriage is a civil contract. It's not your place to deny it to others. Churches should be banned from issuing marriage licenses. Issuing licenses is the province of the state.

Exactly. Religion should be separated from the State

Here's the thing! Catholic church doesn't need to support homosexual marriage or officiate such marriages in the church. Let same sex marriages have the legal status. Church should have no say there! Let church and state be separate.

To try to muzzle the Church is to muzzle all Catholics. That is unconstitutional and unethical. The Catholic Church houses, feeds, clothes, educates, provides medical care, buries, advocates for the poor, provides justice, and cares for the elderly more than any other institution INCLUDING the government. No other church, institution, NGO, or agency comes close...NO ONE. We have more than earned our seat at the table and our voice to be heard.

@@st.mephisto8564 People who have same-sex attraction don't need the Church's approval have the feelings they have. Those feels are neither sinful nor non-sinful in-and-of themselves. It's acting on those feelings that become sinful and compel the Church to use her voice. It goes to the very nature of what and who the Church is. That is the function of the Church. To proclaim the Gospel and calls people away from sin so as to have Eternal Life. The Church in part of society as long as those in the Church are part of society. We do not check our faith at the doors of the church or as we leave our homes anymore than a homosexual stops being homosexual when they leave their bedroom.

@@user-ks3qr5fk6m That is the point, really, isn't it? You don't understand. Part of the reason you don't understand is that you choose not to. If you were willing to consider the possibility that Catholics cared deeply for the good for homosexuals and wanted what was good for them, you'd have to opened your mind to the possibility and your ears and really listen. That just might disturb your views or cause you some discomfort. You can't allow that, now can you?

very confusing, a lot of beating around the bush, and weird comparisons. If you don't like gay marriage look the other way just like the church did with all the sexual abuse of children.

Marriage is the union of 2 people. Marriage AND homosexuality goes back thousands of years. Anti-homosexual views around marriage are spouted by Christians quoting the bible but we have evidence that shows homosexual sex dating back to ancient Greek times. It was never viewed as sinful, it was part of daily life.

reminds me of end times warning of GOD the last chapter of the Bible REVELATION Chapter .(ALSO ARE YOU NOT WARNED YET FROM THIS POPE MAKING ALL RELIGION AS ONE WHEN GOD IS ONLY ONE?!). GOD LOVES YOU ! Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “’Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(Revelation 18:4) Her means Roman Catholism who worship idol and Mary and Catholic edited HOLY BIBLE to distract GOD'S children to know him to save their own souls and of others... Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves John 14:6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know b my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be c in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:23“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. John 14:25 All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
