Anyone who genuinely thinks that the best way to bring gays into god's embrace is to ostracisize them and make them feel unwelcome is a ****ing moron quite frankly.
People respond, ultimately, to truth. Homosexuality is sinful. Nothing gay people do will change this. Ever. They even know this, which is why Jesus offers them healing. They can choose to reject him and carry on, or accept him and repent.
But - the door is always open. It's open today. It's open tomorrow. The door is never closed no matter how many times you turn away, so long as you are alive.
I'm quite willing to accept that your ridiculous church could and has believed such an idiotic and counterproductive thing
You're assuming that there's a breach between God's law and natural law, when the two are one and the same. People are built to work with natural law, and it's why the churches that embrace it thrive.
Pope Francis is wiser than that.
Here's the thing, you don't get new people coming to god by standing with your back to them telling them they aren't good enough.
If part of your role as a Christian is to encourage others to be saved, then you're massively failing at that job.
because your hate speech is actively turning people away from the church.
It's meaningless in the sense that you mean. If you do something bad, the only point in 'repenting' is to teach yourself to not do bad things in future. If you're not using it as a self-help session then you're basically just crying to your imaginary friend.
The ironic thing is that the atheist understands Christian virtue better than the supposed Catholic.
Sure, you might believe that you understand things, but it's painfully obvious to us that you don't.
