Pope excommunicates the Mafia

The children of divorce think that divorce sucks hind tits because it sacrifices their happiness for the happiness of others. What are the children deprived of a mother or a father going to think in this situation?

No, children of parents who have grown to hate each other and who live in a toxic environment as a result do not always think that divorce is a bad thing.

Please stop talking about relationships. You don't understand human emotion, and your pathetic attempts to empathize are about as convincing as your claims to being a Christian.

People do not have the right to marry whomever they want whenever they want. There are plenty of laws which restrict someone from marrying another person. Do you think all of these laws should go too, because they are discriminatory?

Two, what about children? Don't children have a right to have a father and a mother?

As I said, you have the right to politic for anything you want.
Your reasons are unimportant to me so I will not argue them and don't really need to hear them.

But when you politic for things that deny basic rights to people based on race, sex or sexual preference please expect to be called a douche bigot, because that's what it makes you BY DEFINITION.

And when almost everyone is doing it, you should maybe be looking in the mirror a bit more closely to see what's there.

Just saying. Reap what you sow.

WTF, of all my friends who have divorced parents, nearly all of them think it sucked, but it was still better than how things were before. The rest of them think it was good, and better than how things were before.

Hell, my parents ot divorced, and they're still friends, and get along OK with each other. Much much better than the last couple of years of marriage. If they hadn't gotten separated, I'd probably hate my father's guts by now.

Gay marriage: somehow, if it becomes legal, people will start to have kids through mitosis.

For 250 years there weren't any bishops in England. Why do you think the Calverts founded Maryland?

What an absurd statement. Even during the period of the English Commonwealth there were still bishops in England, simply not Roman Catholic bishops.

Perhaps you'd care to give us a figure for how many dissenting churches were allowed in Italy or Spain at that time ?

Also, the king who granted the charter for Maryland colony was in fact an Anglican. That is to say, an English Catholic, not a Roman Catholic.

You think the persecution of the Catholic church in England and eventual emancipation is 'imaginary'?

No, just your twisted version of it.

Forgive him Father, for he knows not, what he is saying

Nonsense. Is someone a bigot when they argue against incestuous marriage?

And when almost everyone is doing it, you should maybe be looking in the mirror a bit more closely to see what's there.

"Bigot" is just simply shorthand for, "I disagree with your impeccably reasoned argument and have nothing further to say to refute it."

Just saying. Reap what you sow.

Oh, so what, you're going to arrest all us Christians who reject gay marriage? Good luck with that.

Which is exactly my point, Molly. Why were there no ROMAN CATHOLIC Bishops in England.

Perhaps you'd care to give us a figure for how many dissenting churches were allowed in Italy or Spain at that time ?

Were Italy and Spain majority Roman Catholic?

Also, the king who granted the charter for Maryland colony was in fact an Anglican. That is to say, an English Catholic, not a Roman Catholic.

And the Calverts left so that they could practice their religion freely in America, something they could not do in England at the time. Also, 'English Catholic' refers to a Roman Catholic. COE refers to the Church of England.

So you accept my premise that it hurts the children who lose their families? Divorce, really, really, really, sucks for the kids.

[Ben Kenobi]

Gee... your great god takes mothers and fathers away from their children all the time.

Sidestepping the question. Do you believe children have a right to a mother and a father?

If it was a right from god, he would never let a parent die. But no, he just let's them die all the time.
So I guess your god doesn't think it's a child's right, so why do you?

So you think that because sometimes parents die an untimely death that we should deliberately separate children from their mother or father? Children have a right to their mother and father, and that isn't trumped by whatever the desires of the adults are at the time.

No, many times, it's a blessing.

[Bereta_Eder]

I wonder what is it that makes you want to cling to such absolut theories.
A need for a constant in your life?
Forget the catholic church.
These are outdated ideas that got trumped because they produced pain.
There are a minority of people who espouce them but the vast of progressive society doesn't, thank God.
I don't think you classify under "catholic" but more under very conservative.
Thankfully, you are so much so , that despite you "giving the good fight" (and by all means keep doing it) you are completely irrelevant.
I hope you find what's really troubling you. Or if your facade has become who you are now, then it's really no loss, except for you.

I'm not going to read all your posts to see in which one you replied, so I'll go on what Paiktis quoted:

Yes, in the same way that an apendectomy hurts. Divorce allowed > no divorce allowed.

WHERE did I ever say that? (of course I never did)

I did say that if you politic for bigoted causes expect to be called a bigot. Pretty straight forward to me.
If you want to call others bigoted based on how they politic, that's also your right.

But in the end, you're a bigoted douche. Embrace it.
