God and Country

Leave a reply

I really do not understand what these people are getting all bent out of shape about. If you’re a religious individual, you ought to believe that God’s law supersedes man’s law and that God comes before country. If you’re an atheist, God does not exist, so effectively, this fellow has put nothing before his country. Where’s the problem?

Flag Flap Pits God Versus Country

"There’s a flap over a flag in Westmoreland County. Folks there are up in arms because a popular beverage company is flying a Christian flag above the American flag. United States code states the American flag always comes first on the flag pole. "

Female priests and bishops are one thing. I might not agree with them, but I can appreciate the arguments made for them. I DO NOT understand how ANY Christian, let alone clergy, could justify living a homosexual lifestyle. The Episcopal Church, once just an accident of history (yay, Henry VIII) and a mere sidestep from the Roman Catholic Church, has really gone off the deep end.

Gay bishop-elect: ‘I do believe this is of the spirit’

“(CNN) — Episcopalians in New Hampshire elected the church’s first openly gay bishop Saturday. The Rev. V. Gene Robinson cannot take office until he gains the approval of clergy and laity at a national church convention in July in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but his election has already stirred controversy.”

Vatican Says Sex Change Operation Does Not Change a Person’s Gender

After years of study, the Vatican’s doctrinal congregation has sent church leaders a confidential document concluding that “sex-change” procedures do not change a person’s gender in the eyes of the church.

Consequently, the document instructs bishops never to alter the sex listed in parish baptismal records and says Catholics who have undergone “sex-change” procedures are not eligible to marry, be ordained to the priesthood or enter religious life, according to a source familiar with the text.

How could this possibly be a surprise to anybody? The idea of transsexual members of the religious community completely contradicts 2000 years of Catholic sexual ethics.
