Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Where are people's comments on this important story!? I am truly grateful for Brent Watson's courageous stance. The boldness and bravery of his decision will be a blessing for many into Eternity.
Chicago24, I'd sure like to talk to you about your time as a seminarian! You DID mean a Roman Catholic seminarian, didn't you? How long were you a seminarian and where!? Because you don't seem to know much about the Catholic church and you seem pretty angry and willing to bash what I'm guessing is your FORMER church.
I love the Catholic church. I embrace their stance that women not be ordained as priests. There are plenty of ways they can devote their time and talent to serving the church. It seems to me that people who are angry or upsent or strongly disagreeing aren't taking much time to really pursue why the church believes what it does. They're more interested in tearing it down. There's no room for that with anyone. We should be trying to understand one another and not quite so pleased in tearing one another apart. Aren't there enough problems in this world without building greater divisions between those professing to have faith in Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life?

In my opinion, Christians need to take a serious, mature look at how they respond to this very serious issue. There's no room for judgment and condemnation. The message that McD's should be getting is that we're not only called to respect, include, and "tolerate" gays and lesbians. Our highest call, by Christ himself, is to love. I feel a loving response is to not be involved in or permit any kind of unkind treatment, unfair exclusion, etc...the same as we should treat any and every human being! I also believe a loving response is NOT promoting or encouraging the gay and lesbian lifestyle in any way, shape or form. It's not a loving response because my faith (a part of me as much as my blood) says this is not the path for their true, lasting peace and happiness.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
