So, I take it you are one of those people who thinks fashion and opinion is more important than truth, and that truth should be subjec to the way you "feel," and the mood you're in at any given moment? Fortunately, there are men with strength who will, perhaps, die trying to prevent that. You read me wrong, sir. I believe that the Catholic Church has no monopoly on the truth at all, never had, maybe never will, although they have a stranglehold on their adherents. I don't believe that, through all of their artificial trappings and (IMO) weird cult-like approaches to Christianity, they come close to what Jesus would have wanted. I also believe that, like any human institution, it is corrupted beyond what St. Peter originally intended. I also happen to believe, regardless of fashion, that they are simply wrong. As far as your last sentence goes, I see no relevance to this topic. At least, I cannot see any martyr wars breaking out in the Catholic Church. Your kindness and sense of compassion and liberal open-mindedness have been duly noted. Thanks - Compassion (along with courage and wisdom), more than anything else, is what the world seems to lack most these days. It doesn't take a liberal to feel sorrow or compassion for those living in misery, by the way - only a human being whose heart still ticks. Benedict XVI had to pause a moment before speaking today because the homosexuals booed and jeered him, yet I'm sure he'll refuse to bow to them. Well, that's fine, they deserved it, and the gays don't have to be Catholics either...however, I would not live with a bunch of mythological made-up crap either. However, if you can point out one place where Jesus condemns a single man for being intimate with another, or woman with woman, I will tell all the gays I know to repent instantly and live a life contrary to the fibers of their beings (which God arguably built into them). Frankly, I do not care whether gays are in the Catholic Church or not. It is not relevant to the damaging effects the Church continues to have on the poor and the ecology of this planet I have to wonder: If someone is a Sodomite, and they want a Catholic-like church, why don't they simply make their own faith, and find their own way? I agree. I'd say that rather than permitting the collapse of the Church, they have done much to attempt to destroy it. I disagree. Through their actions, they only make themselves outcasts. The Church is wealthy enough to persist on its own. I also think that the topic of sodomy and etc. is unimportant. It is a side topic that, as long as only 8-10% of the world is gay, will not become key. I am done. Bruce Jensen |

"Stephen M.H. Lawrence" wrote in message ... Benedict XVI had to pause a moment before speaking today because the homosexuals booed and jeered him, yet I'm sure he'll refuse to bow to them. Funny. I was listening in on the radio, and I must have missed that somehow. The commentators seem to have missed it as well; they didn't mention it. |

I doubt it. There are still about 1 x 10^9 Catholics in this world - that's hardly a struggling Church. So, you're baptized as a baby before you have any sins to wash away and your name is added to their list of members. The only way out is to be excommunicated, but they still count people who never willingly stepped foot into a service as members? -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A.
