Re: Same-Sex Marriage
Good as thread as any to point out that Larry Kramer died today. As the founder of Act Up he did as much as anyone to bring AIDS to the national conscious.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage
I'd say the Pope's comments that were released yesterday are a pretty big deal, at least to some.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I may be stepping pretty far out of my realm of competency here, but this seems like a pretty straightforward "render unto Caesar" interpretation here.Biff Pocoroba wrote:I'd say the Pope's comments that were released yesterday are a pretty big deal, at least to some.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage
Civil Union is pretty explicitly not a church marriage. I don't know how else you can read it? Gov't ministers are not in conflict with church teachings if they allow this thing that the church is not involved in. They can still be fundementally disordered* and still find meaning in a family life.Green Habit wrote:I may be stepping pretty far out of my realm of competency here, but this seems like a pretty straightforward "render unto Caesar" interpretation here.Biff Pocoroba wrote:I'd say the Pope's comments that were released yesterday are a pretty big deal, at least to some.

This is a good friend of my wife. He married his husband and the Catholic school he teaches at fired him. I guess diddling little boys isn’t a fireable offense though

This is normal for Catholic schools. Not exactly a loophole.E.H. Ruddock wrote:https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/27/nyregion/catholic-school-teacher-fired-same-sex-marriage.html?auth=login-email&login=email&fbclid=IwAR38dtlLKWylmC_uwAq4CVPVk0B9wBZFV_dt-8i8SBpDIqpRwqT9DRZjdV4

I can understand if you want to ban the existence of parochial schools why you'd be upset.
