The fact tha...I could not agree more on this point. The fact that church does not offer sacraments to divorcees is so reprehensible that it violates all standards of humanity! In biology they say humans follow sequential pair-bonding, we live as couples and we might separate and form new bonds. To dictate that one is allowed only one chance at marriage is incomprehensible for a church that does not allow premarital relationships and cohabitation. <br /><br />While the issue of divorce shows the strong patriarchy and paternalism still prevalent in the church, the issue of homosexuals really shows its true moral standards. Like many other animals (great apes, sheep, etc) homosexuality is a fact in humans. It prevalent in 5-10% of the population and it is NOT a matter of life style choice. The love between a homosexual couple is not in any way less dignified than a heterosexual one. But the issue is church would like to place sex before love. Its fundamental character is defined by sex (a true Augustinian heritage). It does not matter what it says in the Bible, there are so many things in the Bible, "take no thought of the morrow", you never hear it in a sermon!<br /><br />As a boy I was taught masturbation is a sin, and I had tremendous pain in dealing with my urges and emotions. I shamelessly confessed many times about my private vices!, yes they are vices!. It SICKENS me!! Church should get out of its followers sex life. <br /><br />The Galilean roamed around with the marginalized. If he was alive today he would not have been attending a church mass, but you will see him in the streets with gays, bisexuals, transgenders, divorcees, fighting for their rights! ജോർജ്കുട്ടിhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921234635188806323noreply@blogger.com
