what a stupid thing to say Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM
If you don't like how the Catholic Church operates, fine. Don't be Catholic.
.

I have several catholic friends who dislike some of the aspects of the catholic church. they identify themselves as catholics and wouldn't change the way they worship for anything. i told them about this story and they were shocked.

If you don't want to/can't follow the rules of your chosen religion, then leave or expect to be expelled. The same goes for religious schools and work programs.


expulsion from a religion? that is totally ridiculous. you could be asked to leave an individual church, coven, synagogue ect if you being there outrages people. noone has the right to say "nope, you can't be a catholic any more because you are gay. go piss off and be a protestant or something".

yes you have the right to choose a religion, or to not choose one at all. it shouldn't matter if you are gay, straight, bi, disabled, black, white ect. its Your Choice

While I understand that view Roland00 - 05/09/2010 04:05:29 AM 1004 Views
There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 02:30:06 AM 981 Views
agreed. There may be some hypocrisy in the church employment practices... LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:49:44 AM 949 Views
That's the crux of it. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:24:44 AM 1095 Views

what a stupid thing to say Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM 1025 Views
Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 360 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 404 Views
...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. Ghavrel - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM 936 Views
You can't be excommunicated for being gay Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:51:21 AM 1020 Views
No one here said you could. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 03:00:07 AM 954 Views
I am not disagreeing with that, excommunications do happen Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:07:57 AM 1032 Views
This is a classic example of me inadvertently coming to complete agreement with the Vatican. Joel - 07/09/2010 12:05:52 PM 999 Views
Wow! What an underwhelming argument. everynametaken - 06/09/2010 04:24:32 AM 995 Views
Remember that NC Baptist church kicking out non-Bush supporters in '04? Joel - 07/09/2010 11:46:18 AM 1074 Views
Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore". Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 08:43:34 PM 1145 Views
See above post Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:52:25 AM 874 Views
What? Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 02:56:59 AM 883 Views
Nope Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:03:48 AM 930 Views
Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 794 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 1112 Views
I never infered that that was the case. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 809 Views
mmm, but your example isn't inaction ALONE LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:46:56 PM 910 Views
Hmm interesting question. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:35:19 PM 997 Views
is excommunication about "use" though? LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 10:36:55 PM 1031 Views
I don't know. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:47:42 AM 876 Views
yah, I'd agree with that LadyLorraine - 07/09/2010 11:59:01 AM 1033 Views
Well thank god you aren't the pope Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:29:00 AM 991 Views
I would say the same for you. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:50:55 AM 944 Views
Dismas is a Saint? Joel - 07/09/2010 12:08:45 PM 1027 Views
It's pretty hard to argue with that one. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:41 AM 348 Views
Yeah, was just surprised they'd made it official is all. Joel - 08/09/2010 04:36:28 AM 978 Views
You are purposefully trying to split hairs Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:15:08 AM 915 Views
Calling me an idiot... Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:52:39 AM 927 Views
My turn to split hairs: Joel - 07/09/2010 12:10:33 PM 921 Views
does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM 812 Views
i'm pretty sure we have this conversation on a weekly basis. *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 09:05:33 PM 385 Views
Yeah. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:34:10 PM 795 Views
is being Catholic a belief system or a club? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 11:03:00 PM 900 Views
Depends on who you ask Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:12:23 AM 1057 Views
It's both. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:54:13 AM 1006 Views
I'm unsure about that. It doesn't invalidate baptism. Ghavrel - 07/09/2010 08:23:33 AM 875 Views
I thought conformation is what made you a member of the church *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2010 06:42:36 PM 351 Views
You're correct. Dragonsoul - 08/09/2010 02:33:45 AM 927 Views
Either way, it's a sacramental character, and so my point stands. You can't erase the seal of either *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:12 AM 361 Views
Hey I haven't brought up the last two times Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:30:18 AM 906 Views
My god people that cheat or divorce shouldn't be Catholic Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:26:23 AM 820 Views
I'm inclined to agree. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:31:59 AM 871 Views
