Honestly, I think it's very poor debate to tell someone they can't belong to x religion or denomination because of how they live. If someone says they have Catholic faith then they are Catholic. You can think they are wrong in their theology and argue that, but it's poor form to say that someone else isn't what they claim to be because you disagree on an issue.
I know 2 ex gay Christians that struggle with same sex attractions. They are Christian.
I know an openly gay Mormon, I'm not going to say that he isn't a Mormon because he is gay and the Mormon church tends to be pretty strong against homosexuality.
I know a gay Evangelical Christian. I would never say that he isn't an Evangelical Christian because he lives an openly homosexual lifestyle.
I can have opinions about their theology and if they are right or wrong, but I would never disrespect them and go so low as to tell them they aren't Christians, Mormons, or anything else.
yet I haven't been, so it's good you're absolutely wrong.
As I have said over and over again, gays can be members of the Catholic Church we are taught to hate the sin but love the sinner and sex outside of marriage is a mortal sin whether your straight or gay. The church has certain requirements......You are required to confess your sins unless you don't have any and the only person that fits that description is Jesus Christ. You are required to attend mass on Sundays and holy days.....If you don't then its a mortal sin. Its not easy to be a Catholic but those are the facts.
You don't follow the precepts of the church.....You have been but you don't know it.
Nope, you are not excommunicated for that, sorry.
So how you coming on supporting your claims with sources NP? Still trying to dodge, hoping no one realizes you posted lies?
As far as I know, none.Why would you say that.......Do you have any idea how many Mortal sins you have on your soul?
It is at best laughable that as we age we suddently find religion and like a student cram studying for a final we become very intense in going to church.
And all that stuff we did when we were young is just swept underneath the carpet.
Cram,, cram,, cram.
As far as I know, none.
when is the last time you went to mass, went to confession, slept with your boyfriend?
I don't attend mass often, I confess every day, I don't have a boyfriend, I have a husband.
You have to confess to a catholic priest if your catholic, you have to attend mass every sunday and holy day...The Catholic Chrch does not recognize gay marriage so you lose on all accounts.
Is there some injunction in your religion against judging others?

Yes there is, I judge no one I just know the precepts of the Catholic Church.......We will all be taken to task on Jugment Day by God.
Except that once confirmed you are always Catholic. You don't know squat.

He isn't any thing special, the Vatican decides who is Catholic and who is not, I haven't revcived a notice of excommunication, so everything he says is hogwash.
If that is for me I was baptized Catholic in my first year of life......I also attended Catholic School for 12 years...........Its true I was much more Liberal when I was young but as I grew older and wiser I became much more Conservative especially after I married and had a family......
Like I said we will find out on judgment day and I sure has hell would not want to be you.
ROTFLMAO:lamo
Just curious, were you baptized because that is when you become a Catholic.........Have you received your first communion? You have to do that prior to Confirmation.
