The head of the Philadelphia Archdiocese says gay, divorced and remarried Catholics can receive the sacrament of Communion — as long as they don’t have sex.

“Live as brother and sister,” Archbishop Charles Chaput wrote in a seven-page guideline that was released July 1.

Titled “Pastoral Guidelines for Implementing Amoris Laetitia,” it also states that gay Catholics should not be allowed to hold “positions of responsibility” in the parish.

“It’s important to remember that some same-sex couples do live together in chaste friendship and without sexual intimacy, and many pastors have had the experience of counseling such couples,” says the guidelines. “But two persons in an active, public same-sex relationship, no matter how sincere, offer a serious counter-witness to Catholic belief, which can only produce moral confusion in the community,” it later adds.

The rules stand in stark contrast to Pope Francis’ document, “Joy of Love,” that was released in April and addressed issues including divorce and homosexuality. Francis took a softer approach, encouraging priests to show “pastoral discernment” to civilly remarried Catholics who want to receive Communion. Like Chaput, Francis spoke against gay marriage, but also called for an end to “unjust discrimination” against homosexuals.

... but the mumu men who stamp about
wearing fancy gowns whilst hidding their stuck-up lazy arses in fancy buildings called churches could screw helpless little boys' behinds and still have the full undisputable right to administer loads of flat circular wafers (which represents the flesh of their dead/imaginary saviour) to bazillions of gullible followers.
Talk about 'when delusion knocks up hypocrisy to father twin insanity'.
Useless bunch!

Very easy to sit behind a keyboard an criticise, it become silly when u add the fallacy of hasty generalisation.

Slikbae:
True!
The Catholic church is right this time

Because it supports ur bigoted view or because u have evidence they are right? It's funny how right and wrong depends on our views of reality and not reality itself.
