Here it is, in full:<br /><br />"The Church does not then, if we are thinking right, really teach that a same sex attracted man cannot get married to another man, and she does not teach that a same sex attracted woman cannot adopt a child. She does not teach in this negative manner at all.<br /><br />She teaches, rather, what it is that men and women need to live good, true, and beautiful lives – and in her mercy she shares this information with the world. That she points out, in detail in some cases, those ways of living that are contrary to human happiness only demonstrates the Church’s special care for same sex attracted men and women. She stoops to the obvious, because men and women are weak, willful, and sometimes plain lazy."Gibbons in SFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256165281863652253.post-39801435403096621442009-12-06T17:07:27.104-08:002009-12-06T17:07:27.104-08:00Meanwhile the Episcopalians have elected another h...Meanwhile the Episcopalians have elected another homosexual "bishop". Good thing the Holy Father has prepared the way for Anglicans to come over to the true Church--just in time! Contrast the loving obedience of Mr. Heard with the rejection of God we see from the Episcopalians. Just another reason I'm thankful I'm Catholic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256165281863652253.post-18361652868358489202009-12-06T16:20:00.752-08:002009-12-06T16:20:00.752-08:00According to John Heard in the article you're ...According to John Heard in the article you're promoting: "The Church does not then, if we are thinking right, really teach that a same sex attracted man cannot get married to another man."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
