What!!!!!
 
More than 100 Catholic church officials in Germany came out as LGBT, queer or non-binary on Monday, adding to calls for reform within the crisis-hit church.

Are they trying to confuse us?

What is non-binary? I understand the term binary mathematically. So, I can imagine non-binary meaning not based upon two. But it seems to me that this is not referring to biology. Yet it seems that these individuals don't accept they are what we commonly label by pronouns such as he or she.

Sounds like a term that some have invented to describe a view of life, but not a scientific description of a being. Are there non-binary dogs, fish, birds?

The question is that as we classify things scientifically wouldn't physical characteristics still apply. Male, female, neuter, and then further definition to describe, race, sexual orientation, etc. Thus, wouldn't pronouns he and she be acceptable?

Just another reason why I oppose ALL religions.

Trying to change narrative again
“ Ex-Pope Benedict admits to giving false statement in child abuse report”
Unfortunately the Catholic church is the most corrupt of all along with TV Evangelists just keep giving money.
Salvation can not be bought!

Can't remember where I first heard this old saying that "religion is the last refuge of scoundrels."

As to " non-binary", there are some species that only require one sex to procreate. Also, recently heard of a species that has three distinct sexes. I don't believe any of those belong to any religion, but who am I to say.

As to sexual orientation, people can be prone to anything from straight heterosexual thru LGBT on to necrophilia, animals to inanimate objects and anything you can think of. To put it plainly, people are really weird.

There is no "group" (humans) exempt.
They ALL operate the same way!
A heat generating bias comment with an obvious prejudiced basis!

A crock!

Let me tell you about my last Church….
 
Just a few weeks ago I was a parishioner of a large Catholic Church here until I heard the head priest apologize (on camera)to us at the opening of the mass because some parishioners wrote him a six page letter telling him why they hated him.
He said that he gave permission to a woman parishioner who offered to help assist in giving communion, but did withdraw it at the parishioners request and apologized profusely to us. He withdrew permission and told the woman she could not serve or assist because she was a transgender.
At that moment I realized that even though the Church says God loves all his children it was obvious that the people in this flock don’t. Apparently, the priest in order to keep his job had to bow to the parishioners hatred….and we wonder why there is so much hatred and discord in the world.

To those on this blog who denounce religion: You don't have the right to make blanket statements about other people’s religious choices. Because the religion a person follows is sacred to her/him. So hate speech against religion is offensive to many people and it’s also rude.

Regarding Catholic clergy coming “out” in Germany: Gay and lesbian clergy have existed for a long time, and the clergy are just being honest about it and owning their identity. Don’t really know much about the non-binary thing so I’ll remain respectful.

so what man created the big bang and the subsequent universe?
Or should we believe an empty box creates the item within it?

God never changes. His word is forever

Peace on earth 🌎
 
Jesus preached:

Love one another as i have loved you.

Let him without sin, cast the first stone

judge not, lest ye be judged!

Whether you believe or not, are these not principles we can all live by ?

A good example there is a God from these anti Christ comments , spreaders of darkness and evil , because they are using God given free will as apposed to a predetermined life like a plant .
How big must one think of themselves to think there is no God .,Of course we were warned when we became believers we would be attacked for following a religion by
those with no belief. We can feel sorry for they know not what they do .
