Final mass held for gay Catholics in Soho
[quote]A mass for gay and lesbian Catholics has been held for the last time in central London because the Church says it goes against its views on sexuality.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales said it conflicted with religious teachings on sexuality.
The Archbishop of Westminster has asked organisers of the service in Soho to instead concentrate on providing pastoral care.
The masses have been held at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Warwick Street, Soho, for the last six years. Previously they had been congregating in an Anglican church.[/quote]
I wish churches will grow up, why do we even have religion in the 21st century it causes society to stay separated instead of bring society together. Its a institution of hate not love you only need to look back in history to see this.
Governments are moving forwards but religion won't. What do you guys think? Should catholic churches continue with LGBT mass or should they be allowed to discriminate?

9 RespuestasThey can do whatever they want. No one is forcing homosexuals to attend mass.

2 RespuestasI'm confused, what exactly is a "gay mass"? Is it a mass where they attempt to refute scripture that says acts of homosexuality are sinful, or is it just a mass designed to make gay people feel more comfortable? Both seem odd to me. Gay people shouldn't feel uncomfortable in church, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). It's like making a separate mass for people that lie habitually, or are arrogant, or selfish, etc. Mass is for sinners, not for saints, and I hope the elimination of that mass means they're trying to incorporate [i]all[/i] church members into their mass, rather than segregating.

[quote]Its a institution of hate not love you only need to look back in history to see this. [/quote] Lol. Ever heard of the term "wolf in sheep's clothing"? That's exactly what happened in history. People wanted power, quickest way to power was to pretend you were of the Christian religion. Those people did not follow the teachings of Christ. And you're silly if you think they did.

2 RespuestasIf a religion wants to slowly destroy itself by refusing to update its rules, then fine.

6 RespuestasThe Catholic Church shouldn't have to conform to society. It has rules and they should be followed if you want to be a part of it.

.... no. No, you can't make a post entirely of Linkin Park music and then try to make a legitimate debate about it with the last sentence.
