He doesn't allow for a legalistic minimalization of Christianity, which may render your point incongruous with the reality of the living body of Christ= the Church.

All the Church requires from us is the humility of a child embracing their parents. His gift of salvation is free to us, but came at a cruel cost to Him on calvary. We all have the opportunity today to renounce the sin and perversions of this world and embrace his ridiculously scandalous gift of eternal salvation!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-207255090438467252013-05-24T15:37:11.397-04:002013-05-24T15:37:11.397-04:00Who can really believe that there is no salvation ...Who can really believe that there is no salvation outside the Church?

The question is no longer whether we will have gay marriage--it's already in Europe, in Latin America, Canada, and a number of large states in the US. There will be gay marriage. The Catholic Church is not required to approve or participate. Live and let live must be the rule for this new right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-33501208097748440702013-05-24T14:21:11.191-04:002013-05-24T14:21:11.191-04:001.

Jesus died for atheist, Jews, Buddhists et al...what the Pope was talking about was common ground and a starting point for dialogue and unity....good works is a starting point, otherwise why would JESUS had to suffer and die?<br />2. JESUS established the Catholic church and put into place the FIRST church leaders, Peter being the first pope.<br />3. Book of ACTS establishes apostolic succession.<br />4. WITHOUT THE CATHOLIC Church there would be no KNOWLEDGE of JESUS or salvation through HIM which was established by JESUS.<br />5. UNLESS YOU EAT of my Flesh and DRINK OF MY BLOOD, you shall NOT have LIFE, is pretty clear.<br />6. We have FREE WILL to join the Church JESUS established or not and to follow HIS commands and teachings. <br />7. God decides who gets into heaven.<br />8. Purgatory is the waiting room for heaven and many will end up there as there are not many Saints walking the earth these days.

PERIOD....we can try to re-negotiate but the model was laid out by JESUS himself.

Now it's too late to alter the trajectory. A majority of Catholics, no less than others, want this possibility available to their gay family members and friends. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
