When will the Catholic church just give in to secularism

[Sava]

did you hear about the bishop of new jersey? the guy is embezzling church funds to build himself an addition to his lavish mansion. His house is getting a second elevator. I wonder if he uses Mitt Romney's elevator guy.

There's no honor among thieves, apparently.

I always commit honorable theft and robbery bb:

[Sava]

stealing from corporations is honorable
but not smash and grab or anything violent

if you can't figure out good opportunities without resorting to violence, you are an amateur and deserve to be not doing this

Any chance of starting a Euromaidan movement against corrupt Catholic bishops?

Ben Kenobi, now we're on this topic I got a serious question to you;
I'm busy writing a book on how christians should live in the post modern world, and of course christian views on homosexuality and gay marriage has to be a part of that. I'm going to send a letter some dutch orthodox church college to get an answer to this question, but I'm also interested in your response.

I have a female colleague, she's a lesbian, married with another woman. They have 3 children (2 given birth by one mother, 1 by the other mother).
The children are age 3, 5 and 7. This family (mother, mother, 3 children) have been living as a family for quite some time already.

Now my question to you is, what do you think that should happen with this gay marriage?
Is it the christian way to split the family up into two parts, tear the brother and sisters from eachother, and force them to continue as two single-mothers? Or do you believe that the christian way is to keep them together?

Thanks for answering.

The Catholic teaching is that marriage is between one man and one woman. So in the view of the Catholic Church, the marriage doesn't exist.

Then why pray tell is there a fight against these marriages in the secular sphere. it makes my head hurt.

Not answering your question, but divorce rates for lesbians are considerably high.

I'm guessing because they think homosexuality is evil and secular recognition of same-sex relationships will lead to more buttsex.

Jesus has already given us the answer to this when he told us to render under Caesar what is Caesar's. Our secular governments have created a secular contract of marriage out of the religious sacrament of marriage. This secular contract is imbued with secular rights and obligations. The Christian way is to accept the couple as loving individuals and to leave secular questions to secular authorities.
