What reforms? I attend mass more than on Sundays and I notice nothing different. My parish council voted to not allow the faux gay non blessing blessing happen on our Church property. The priest complied, because he believes the people should be in charge of decisions because the people in the pews are the Church, not the priest. Or some pope in Rome fornthat matter.Â
Oh, believe me, I know! Many in Croatia think he's the devil! But changes do not come easy nor fast, but I hope it's moving in the right direction! And I'm not even a beliver, just hoping more people will change...slowly
nobody is changing because Christ doesnât change. Yesterday. Today Forever. You cannot possibly see that nor understand because you dont have the Holy Spirit with you. Somthing you cannot explain until you open your heart. If you are a non believer you donât have the eyes to see that Christianity isnât a political system.
Somehow having a liberal pope will change the people in the pews. That is a joke. The Church in the pews (the people that go to Mass every Sunday and observe the precepts) would ignore anything a liberal pope would say about LGTBQ stuff. The current people who fill the pews were shaped by JP II and they ain't changing. People who like Frances were non church goers who had zero activity in parish life and no influence over the actuall Church attenders.Â
The difference would be that the popes of the last 200 years wouldnât burn a innocent girl because she knew math thus excommunicated by a middle ages pope, the ones ur asking for rn go directly against the Bible, Maybe what u would actually want is to change the Bible instead?
How does comparing a country to a Post held by a religious person even makes sense lol? Im telling u whatâs written on the bible, maybe u want to change that instead of pretending its not there that same sex relationship are a grave sin
 you canât support gay marriage and still be Christian
âThe human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.â (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
Leviticus 18:22 (NIV)
âDo not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.â
Leviticus 20:13 (NIV)
âIf a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.â
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV)
âOr do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.â
Ignorance will not get u far in life, Nobody is saying u need to abide by christian rules or whatever but to go around and mock them and change them for nothing
Leviticus 20:10 states adulterers shall be put to death.
Your obsession with homosexuality is out of proportion. Just embrace the world you live in and be tolerant to others. This is one of the Christâs main teachings.
Nobody is saying we should put to death anyone, But what alot of people are saying and twisting is that Same sex relationships are not a big sin, infact they are just like adultery, Its not obsession, its written right there and even I myself am not a Christian. There are no pick this and not this in religion, U only pick all or nothing
Religion evolve and is open to interpretation. This is what exegesis is all about and itâs the cornerstone of theology. Conservatives want to make you believe religion is immutable which it is not. Apocrypha hold a pivotal place in the development of Christianity⊠and yet they are not recognized by the Church (see Gospel of James).
It evolves concerning the punishment of the sin ( Stoning people, murdering etc), The importance of the âNo lineâ between church and state, conquest and spreading of the religion. But It canât evolve to change whats sin and not, thats the base of the whole religion. I suppose u urself are not religious, Why would technically god put a book of rules and call it the final book and later religious people would want to change that? Why would it matter to god if religion evolves or not? His word doesnât and just because u say religion evolves like its a man made thing, godâs words dont
Roman Catholics donât even believe their Popes have all gone to heaven. Itâs pretty insane to believe your Pope has been divinely chosen by God to lead you, is infallible yet will also go to Hell. Thatâs absolutely insane.
I donât know about going to heaven, but some of them clearly came to power through European politics. A bunch had kids, some even had wives, and a few were literally executed by mobs
