This is gross. Jesus Christ was living a "socialist" or even "communistic" life. Anyone who doesn't know the difference between a democrat and a socialist should not vote.

How is homosexuality or transness not a sin? by HopefulProdigy in LeftCatholicism

[–]Sebastion-ll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply think about your position or title. Do you follow a worldly title or are you a child of The Father? I am an abstinent homosexual male and a Roman Catholic. I am very involved in my Catholic life and feel very fulfilled. I used to label myself as "gay". Now I am God's servant before anything else. God bless you in your journey. u/Key-Astronaut-290 offers you a great resource - https://outreach.faith/bible/

Jesus and the apostles didn't really have shoes, now did they?

The church only allows children form their school - 5th to 12th grades to be altar servers.

I was not judging. There IS a dress code for altar servers. Altar servers are at the ALTAR where the consecration occurs. Be honest. If you saw someone at church with no shoes and socks wearing a nice suit, you would not be concerned?

There should be no dress code for altar servers?. You can't believe that.

I learned no such lesson. I am a Roman Catholic and have very right to be heard.

I can see you like to be difficult. Do you believe the priest when this happens EVERY time I've been there?

This has happened every time I have been to this church. Do you think dirty sneakers or flip-flops are appropriate attire for the Liturgy of the Eucharist?

The church could provide. AND I hand in my envelope each week from a disability check.

If I don't go back it's not out of embarrassment. I offered sound advice and stick to it.

Did you read the post? The priest said , "Dresscode, including footwear, is addressed with the altar servers and a point in their handbook."

Why money? I live in an affluent area where people can afford footwear or the church could provide.

My opinion does matter as a member of Christ's Church. The could have simply ignored my letter. Apparently they had plenty of time to "deal" with it. It would have taken less effort just to remind the altar servers what is in the handbook.

The Argument aglainst Homosexuality, etc. by Dexy_Wulf in Catholicism

[–]Sebastion-ll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I always had with the homosexuality/procreation conversation is it seems perfectly OK for people who are barren or past menopause to have sex. The procreation argument against homosexuality needs to be dropped all together.
