If she had converted from being a Sunni Muslim to a follower of Wahabism or from being a secular Jew to an Hasidic Jew I'd have said exactly the same thing. The more extreme a religion the less tolerant and more bigotted it's adherents become. That is just not so, all those religions mentioned have their share of traditionalists and liberals. If the religion you singled out for criticism was that bigoted then why would they support this LGBT group. http://www.lgbtcatholicsyag.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she’d converted to an extreme form of Islam or Judaism my comment would have been the same. Both of those religions have LBGT groups but that doesn’t mean that the majority of their adherents aren’t homophobic. https://imaanlondon.wordpress.com/ https://www.haaretz.com/whdcMobileSite/misc/tags/TAG-gay-jews-1.5599143 Edited June 3, 2019 by Top Cats Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their official position will be the same as it has been since the beginning of Christianity, but with a clearer understanding and more knowledge these days. We're referring to a global religion with many different cultures. An American Bishop making a statement isnt going to be a representative view of all clergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Bishop, has he gone rogue, can we all expect a statement from the Vatican condemning his statement as not in keeping with the official line?
