    Who knew that gays were actually people too? The rightwingers’ heads in the US Catholic League are going to explode! 🤯 The Methodist Church has been splitting apart because of this. Progress in removing gays as being classified as second class citizens marches forward - whether the conservatives want it too, or not. Just like time marches on. Some gays will say “Who wants the blessing of the church?”, but others will embrace a “right” of dignity long denied.

      Don’t get ahead of yourself, gays are now on the same level as cars and dogs since those could be blessed in a catholic church before

      The progressive congregations that go along with these changes are experiencing a membership free-fall. The paradox is that the more congregations embrace modern values, the more surviving congregations promote the opposite.

        Actually they are just 2 different churches. Jesus was a brown-skinned liberal so I wouldn’t count Him out.

          That’s a liberal thing to say but how liberal is the policy of prohibition of divorce and reinforcement of the law (I come to fulfill, not destroy…keep the commandments). Also, how liberal is the message of tolerating government oppression?
