Grrrl: All of that is true. But the money that the church is using against the LGBT community is coming from a minority of Catholics, if the statistics from this survey is true. The majority of Catholics are on our side, at least in the states where a majority of people support our rights.

The Pope and the local US dioceses have been out of touch with American Catholics for a long time. That doesn’t change the fact that Catholics put money in the collection plate and the dioceses dump money into anti-gay campaigns.

Pedophile priests get that way because the church forces them to be celibate. This causes many of them to become sexually dysfunctional. And then they prey on the vulnerable, voiceless LGBT youth in their churches and their homeless shelters. And those LGBT youth are in that position partly because of what the Catholic Church preaches and the anti-gay campaigns they fund.

I’m not sure the Catholic Church cares what I have to say. But apparently, a majority of American Catholics don’t care what the church has to say. And when it comes to LGBT issues, that’s a good thing. And the other study, which was probably conducted to back up their witch hunt for gay priests, backfired. The abuse of children is more likely to come from the straight ones. Oops.

If that’s true David – tell them to change their beliefs. Tell them to stop teaching that homosexuality is wrong.

“Interesting,” isn’t progress.

Concerned, I’m not sure what your point is. One survey simply show that despite the church’s stance on gay issues, the states with the biggest Catholic populations don’t reflect those views. The other survey finds that even though the bishops were looking for more reasons to kick out gay priests, the straight ones were as likely to be the criminals. No matter which side of the issue you’re on, I find those results interesting.

Praise God that Catholic members are using their hearts to make choices, and not their egos! In God’s last covenant with man, he put all the laws in our “hearts”! God created Gays for God’s reason…curb the overpopulation of the world, bring loving parents to children abandoned by straights…gotta trust in God’s plan. Huge Goliath churches continue to crucify their Gay children, neighbors, family, and friends, just because they were BORN different …and pour obscene amounts of money into stopping them from sharing equal rights. Money which could feed the hungry, clothes the poor, and bring shelter to the needy. Happily, WHAT ONE SOWS, SO SHALL THEY REAP!

In other news, politicians aren’t corrupt. A recent study of the members Congress found that 100% claimed to be perfect little angels.

“There has clearly been a misconception in the public mind about politicians,” the study’s head researcher said. “I hope that this study will affirm in the public mind that politicians are completely trustworthy.”
