Conservative and traditionalist Catholics said any attempts to soften the church’s teaching on homosexuality was a “betrayal” and akin to heresy.

“I am willing to go anywhere, when asked, to bear witness to what we as evangelical Protestants believe about marriage and the gospel, especially in times in which marriage is culturally imperiled,”
Moore, who heads the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

“The drive we have for new language is a huge part of this,” Alvare said. “People fear complementarity means women are second, and their fears are somewhat justified. There’s a need to educate, to inspire, to show and tell about the beauty of the relationship between men and women.”

“Marriage is your personal project, but it effects the world,” Alvare said. “The message is aimed at those who are there, that those in their own religious traditions and societies can have more language to work with and also that they have more hope.”

“Marriage is your personal project, but it effects the world,”


So true…
And now they only have to open their eyes and be able to accept that the world is not what they want it to be but what it is. One cannot force the world to conform to their version of paradise. But they can accept the paradise that is the world and be a part of it.

That thing is going to turn out just like a totjo forum thread. They clearly wish to emulate us :P

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

@WW

good point. I'm still waiting for the world to end now that same sex marriage is becoming legal in almost every state. Something many religions have been predicting

It kind of feels rather like an 'us' versus 'them'... since when did all religions believe the same thing?


Edit:... removed a comment where I decided I didn't agree with myself!

It won't let me have a blank signature ...
