In that case, my "objective" observation is that you display barely concealed homoerotic feelings. The literature is clear that people who are not gay but make detailed observations and condemnation are struggling with their sexuality. <br /><br />You've written at length on this site about gay men.

At some point, conformity may actually promote evil. We have a real obligation to exercise our free will. The Church is not God.<br /><br />We ignore our obligation to exercise our free will and judgment at great risk.TonyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383259752181717440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-11801593462814331562012-06-25T01:20:47.246-04:002012-06-25T01:20:47.246-04:00Typical lib with your smug ad hominems.

COME TO THINK OF IT, MAYBE FR. LOONEY SHOULD TOO.<br /><br />1. General problems<br /><br />The author does not present a correct understanding of the role of the Church’s Magisterium as the teaching authority of the Bishops united with the Successor of Peter, which guides the Church’s ever deeper understanding of the Word of God as found in Holy Scripture and handed on faithfully in the Church’s living tradition. In addressing various moral issues, Sr. Farley either ignores the constant teaching of the Magisterium or, where it is occasionally mentioned, treats it as one opinion among others. Such an attitude is in no way justified, even within the ecumenical perspective that she wishes to promote. Sr. Farley also manifests a defective understanding of the objective nature of the natural moral law, choosing instead to argue on the basis of conclusions selected from certain philosophical currents or from her own understanding of "contemporary experience". This approach is not consistent with authentic Catholic theology.<br /><br />2. Specific problems<br /><br />Among the many errors and ambiguities of this book are its positions on masturbation, homosexual acts, homosexual unions, the indissolubility of marriage and the problem of divorce and remarriage<br /><br />Read the rest @:<br /><br />www.vatican.va/.../congregations/cfaith/.../rc_con_cfaith_doc_20120330_nota-farley_en.htmlMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-26637031773699318902012-06-23T22:17:22.283-04:002012-06-23T22:17:22.283-04:00And who put you in charge of determining Fr.

The Church has spoken on the the heretical positions that Sr. Farley espouses and yet, Fr.
