I doubt that will happen with Pope John Paul II. In the Bible it has stuff against sodomy and men loving other men in sexual manners. They'd basically have to say that it is OK in the bible for the church to teach it. |
I never said that they should teach everyone that it is ok. Just to accecpt everyone, and... "love all of gods children." Wouldn't you agree?[/quote:ea0dd]I find nothing wrong with that. I'm just pointing out what would have to be done in order for the Church to tell everyone that is alright to "accept a sinner". To the orthodox Catholic, that wouldn't make any sense because it is telling the person that it alright to sin.
But as for tolerating a gay person, I'll be totally honest with you all. I'm not sure what the Church's standpoint is when it comes down to living with homosexuals. They have taught not to become one and that it is wrong, but I have never heard what to do (in the Catholic tradition) when it comes to living with homosexuals. That's when my own morals have come in to play. I know 5 homosexuals that I can think of at the top of my head. I am not friends with them for their interests are totally different. If they said hi to me, it's not like I'm going to spit in their faces and call them fags, no no. I'd be polite to them as they were to me.
