Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J., "Have You Ever Met Anybody Who Would Agree With That?"

Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J.
In an August  5, 2010 video interview with NonprofitNews Jesuit Fr. Greg Boyle was asked about the overturning of the referendum to ban homosexual ‘marriage’ Proposition 8.  
Fr. Boyle replied:
These things are actually easier than people make them out to be it seems to me. I think it’s always important to kind of say, ‘how does God see sexual orientation.’ Does God feel like that same-sex marriage could happen? I don’t think anybody who has a connection to God and God’s understanding and depth of compassion who’s gonna say no. And this is contrary to the party line.”
Fr. Boyle returned to the question later in the interview, speaking of opposing same-sex ‘marriage’ as “demonizing people.”  He said, “You cannot demonize people [whom] you know. It obliterates that forever. So, that’s important in all these issues, gay marriage, etc. All you need to know is the gay couple who have kids, and that obliterates forever anybody’s inclination to say this is wrong. “ Fr. Boyle also ridiculed the Catholic Church’s refusal to ordain women to the priesthood.  “You know the Vatican just said that the ordination of women is a grave sin,” he said. “Have you ever met anybody who would agree with that, I mean my 85-year-old mother doesn’t…”

Christian...His argument is weak as tea. What is logical about treating faith as if it is determined by votes and numbers.
"I don’t think anybody who has a connection to God and God’s understanding and depth of compassion who’s gonna say no."
“Have you ever met anybody who would agree with that, I mean my 85-year-old mother doesn’t…”

I seems to remember that a large percentage of Americans looked kindly on slavery about 150 years ago. By his reasoning they were correct.

I am glad you bring the issue of slavery up.Slave owners were not wrong from their perspective and according to the bible they were not wrong either. So where is the truth in morality determined by a book.
