I’m not a fan of Rees-Mogg or the Tories. But Tbf to him he just gave his personal opinion on his own belief but that doesn’t mean that’s how the country is meant to operate. This is very much an each their own type of opinion

[@banana5961]

Even if you dont agree with him, he is entitled to his opinion and to follow his religion.

[@GordonSou]

Piers Morgan was confused about his values 6 years ago and remains so. It is hypocritical for him to claim to be a Catholic and reject fundamental Catholic teaching. Today he is trapped in a paralysis of analysis with regard to Israel's response to Hamas and raises ad nauseum the question of "proportionate" despite its legak definition and his being told many times by his intellectual superiors what it means.

[@daviddestefanis2989]

He's either a heretic, an apostate, or a schismatic. Take your pick. Here are the definitions: "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him." [Code of Canon Law c.751] So, Piers Morgan is at best a heretic. Because he said he obstinately denies a truth which must be believed. And is obstinate in his denial. He is also at the least guilty of scandal. Its one thing to privately be a heretic, but to pronounce yourself a Catholic who believes in heresy on television. This is the mortal sin of scandal, a grave evil, which he is also guilty of.

JRM is a Catholic and raises his children and his opinions are to believe in what he has to teach his children. However, gay women and men are able to marry. The institution of marriage is able to cater for both gay, straight, swingers, this is a sin and will be forgiven by God.

[@DailyCorvid]

No it won't that's totally wrong. God's forgiveness is not freely given to sinners, in fact the creation of the description of what a sin actually is - clearly was given in order to make the point that gays will not be forgiven until they stop and repend. You can't just do whatever you like and call it good. Homosexuality is a sin, and to gain forgiveness for it you must at the soul level ACCEPT that it is actually bad and wrong and not ever do it.

[@DailyCorvid]

Yeah and the bank employs conmen. "We" is not Christianity if including gay priests or female priests and this is clearly in scripture. Just because a few hereticals do not agree with God, that means they are protestants aka not proper Christians. Christians follow Christ's teaching - Christ's teachings were that of a Rabbi. And those teachings where that men need to learn from and be led by other men of good moral standing and character, and the way that was done was through MARRIAGE TO A WOMAN AND HAVING CHILDREN. Gays can only take these things on in falsity, where they lie and steal the position through trickery and abuse of the trust of others around them, like Phil Scofield just recently and then also Huw Edwards. Notice how all these people with the fake families agree with your gay priests. Nobody with a sense of strong morality would agree with it though. Family men cannot be gay.

Martin Luther removed 7 books from the bible. Interestingly, the sin of onanism is mentioned in some of them. And from these scriptures we actually have scriptural support for opposition to contraception. Contraception is evil. This is why the west doesn't have enough children. Because marriages aren't open to life. Not a single Protestant church allowed for contraception until 1930 and now they all do. SHAME! You have failed. What changed? Did your Bible change in 1930?

[@shadowmancer99]

Holding a view is fine until you are in a position to change the laws and seem well inclined to do so. And that is the problem. The REASON "liberals" like myself oppose overly religious people being in political office or leadership is that then they have the very real ability to FORCE their particular views onto the rest of us. So yes, we're critical of that situation. Its playing out all over the US right now. And its idiotic to try to pretend that isnt the case. If you are the sort to say, these are my views but they are never going to be what I force on others, fine. But that is NOT what you people say or even claim.

Fair enough, which is why I "accept" certain limits, ie no government funding, even a limit past the 2nd trimester. It called compromise.
