Originally posted by Priceless View PostRight. The most powerful man in the Catholic Church just said gay people shouldn't be judged or marginalized and it was just another statement. I'm sure that belief was predominant in church circles prior to yesterday. Probably why gays felt so warm and fuzzy about the church.Originally posted by PricelessGood to see you're so reasonable.Originally posted by ScoobyDooVery well, said.Originally posted by RoverA fair assessment Bob.

Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?
Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostThe media is acting like the Pope has openly endorsed homosexuality, which he definitely did not do. In the same breath just prior to the "who am I to judge?" line he said, ""When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby."
So in other words, he's fine with Catholics being gay, as long as they keep their mouth shut about it.
Not to mention that Catholic priests are supposed to be celibate anyway (despite recent scandals), so this shift on gay priests isn't really a momentous, groundbreaking statement that sweeps aside centuries of dogma. It just softens the rhetoric a bit."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Dang, pretty soon someone will be quoting Aquinas or Teilhard.
But this his a hockey board, so we need to put his statements in the context of where we all come from: he was saying he had no problem with gay hockey players but he would not go into a corner with one.

Georgetown. Catholic University and open to gay and lesbian students.
What a concept. Kind of a WWJD instead of a WWPD.
Further honing its current image as a gay-friendly campus, in March Nate Tisa became Georgetown’s first openly gay student body president.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

The Roman church became the more prominent church after the Huns went through and the Roman Pope saved Rome and he became more influential.Originally posted by PricelessGood to see you're so reasonable.Originally posted by ScoobyDooVery well, said.Originally posted by RoverA fair assessment Bob.

Originally posted by Bob Gray View PostActually those groups all have their own head patriarchs even today, so in a way they still each have their own popes, although I think the Catholic pope may be more powerful than the head guy in those other groups. Even amongst just the Catholic church itself, there were times way back when that they had dueling popes, for extended periods of time, before one or the other gained clear supremacy.

Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?
Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostAs I recall, the Coptics (along with the Gnostic Gospels) were thrown out at the Council of Nicea, and the Byzantine/Eastern Orthodox sect split from Rome in the 1100s due to a battle over iconography.
IIRC, during the Crusades, Europeans slaughtered more Orthodox on the way to Jerusalem than Saracens in the Holy Land proper.
BTW, the Divine Liturgy blows the Latin Rite (Ordinary Form) out of the water. Only the Solemn High Mass in the Tridentine Rite is its equal in terms of solemnity.CCT '77 & '78
