GAY TRUTH

Justin Welby has said he struggles with the question of whether gay sex is a sin and acknowledged that the gulf between conservative and liberal Anglicans on the issue is “irreconcilable”.  The Bible is very clear regarding the sinfulness of homosexuality but the head of the Anglican Church appears to want to sit on the fence and not offend - why doesn't he declare what the scripture clearly teaches? Asked if gay sex was sinful, Welby said: “You know very well that is a question I can’t give a straight answer to. Sorry, badly phrased there. I should have thought that one through.” Pressed on why he could not answer, the archbishop said: “Because I don’t do blanket condemnation and I haven’t got a good answer to the question. I’ll be really honest about that. I know I haven’t got a good answer to the question. Inherently, within myself, the things that seem to me to be absolutely central are around faithfulness, stability of relationships and loving relationships.” Welby sa...

Australia's Catholic church is threatening to fire teachers, nurses and other employees who marry their same-sex partner if gay marriage is legalised, in a dramatic move led by the country's most senior Catholic. Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart , speaking exclusively to Fairfax Media , pointedly warned the church's 180,000 employees they were expected to uphold its teachings "totally", and defiance would be treated "very seriously". "I would be very emphatic that our schools, our parishes exist to teach a Catholic view of marriage," he said. "Any words or actions which work contrary to that would be viewed very seriously. "Our teachers, our parish employees are expected totally to uphold the Catholic faith and what we believe about marriage. People have to see in words and in example that our teaching of marriage is underlined. "We shouldn't be slipping on that," said Archbishop Hart, who also chairs the powerfu...

Fr. James Martin , SJ, editor-at-large for the Jesuit magazine  America , has made the headlines twice this past week.   First,  top Vatican and US church officials backed his forthcoming gay-friendly book ,  Building A Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity . Then in an unforeseen move, the  Vatican named Fr. Martin as a communications consultant  to the Holy See’s  Secretariat for Communications .   Several months preceding all this, Fr. Martin received an award from the LGBT group, New Ways Ministry , a group previously condemned for representing itself as a Catholic organization.  His  acceptance speech  became the broad outline for his new book.  In fact, the name of the award he received is,  New Ways Ministry’s Bridge Building Award . Catholic dissident, Sister Jeannine Gramick , co-founder of New Ways Ministry, lea...

The principal of a Catholic school on the Main Line who sparked outrage after reportedly firing a teacher because she is in a same-sex marriage resigned on Friday, according to reports. Nell Stetser, five-year principal of Waldron Mercy Academy , announced her resignation via email on Friday citing a personal decision to leave her post, Philly Voice reported . Stetser raised public ire after she fired Margie Winters, director of religious education , in July 2015 for being a lesbian. Winters said she told the school about her relationship when she was hired eight months prior. According to 6ABC , a parent complained to the school upon learning about Winters’ relationship. Kimberly M. Baxter, chair of the school's Board of Trustees , sent out an email on Friday directly after Stetser’s was sent writing that Stetser had informed the board of her plan to resign on Wednesday. Baxter called Stetser a "true woman of Mercy" who has "led our school with great integrity,...

Kaine ’s argument  - If relationships the church once condemned as adultery are no longer a major, soul-threatening sin, then why should a committed same-sex relationship be any different? If the church makes post-sexual revolution allowances for straight couples, shouldn’t it make the same ones for people who aren’t even attracted to the opposite sex? Theological error by Kaine - First there are some church denominations that are liberal and all their doctrine changes constantly....with the cultural wind! They are irrelevant to this discussion. But conservative bible adherent denominations acknowledge people's sin and repentance from that sin.  But that does not imply that the sin - eg: divorce, or homosexual sinful are no longer a sin. According to the words of Jesus, divorce and remarriage on the wrong grounds will always be a sin.  Kaine's concept of allowance means - unbiblical divorce and remarriage is no longer a sin in the Catholic church because th...

Canterbury Cathedral. View from the north west circa 1890–1900 (retouched from a black & white photograph). (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This article was written by an Anglican priest . It seems like a nice cordial friendly piece which seeks to be open and friendly but at the cost of biblical truth. He has presented his flawed argument seeking to sound biblical, Christian and righteous. But in reality, it is a false charade of half truth and outright lies. For example read the quote below, and see where this is coming from. "LGBT Christians do not want to be "included" on the basis that their sinful relationships are overlooked by a merciful God , but rather that their relationships can themselves be  sacramental  - visible signs of the divine love." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS IS THE ARTICLE BELOW While the Primates were ensconced in the precincts of Canterbury Cathedral , a fascinating ...
