The same-sex marriage referendum debate

[theskull1]

When I was young I had a teacher whose wife had died years earlier. He then married his wife's sister. That afaik, is still against Catholic Church teaching on the ludicrous grounds of 'affinity', There is no blood relationship, yet because of some twisted ideology from a really old book, it is a sin. Of course a sin becomes not a sin if His Holiness decrees it to be so, thus is possible they received Papal Dispensation. Is this nonsense still the case today?

The irony being that God impregnated his mother to father himself

Presumably Tony would want this priest to quit the Catholic Church? And why hasn't he been forced to quit?

Still waiting, Tony.

Since you like to call for clarification, where do you stand on people being allowed to marry their granny?

If it ever arises I can assure you I won't be in favour.

[J70]

So, should brother and sister marriages be included?

If that is directed at me, then no, obviously not. Inbreeding has bad enough effects when cousins marry.

But, surely marriage has nothing to do with children, according to yourself.

So what are you proposing, allowing them to marry and sterilizing them?

Unless a gay person decides to use a sibling as a surrogate parent, I don't see the relevance of brother-sister relationships to gay marriage.

Perhaps you can explain it.

Church has said that all along - only Tony thinks different.

Read the article - aside from being a year old it was all about the headline. Pope Francis pulled everyone back then and since.
church isn't changing - some things are being communicated differently. Content and delivery. Francis is about better delivery.

ok then is it ok for a man to marry his father, or a daughter her mother? Or indeed a man to marry his mother, if she is past child bearing age?

What if the granny had a sex change and became the granda, would that be ok?

I'd say you watch some mad porn...

Between sex changed grannies and all the gay stuff you watch you must have yourself pulled asunder.

According to you it would be totally natural to be aroused by transsexuals or homosexuals, so why are you using it in a derogatory way.  As I keep saying you would all shit a brick if your child told you they were gay, internet warriors who harbor prejudicial thoughts but like to feel good and post happy gay right thoughts.  You are a hypocrite.

Where did I say that?
Not saying it is or isn't natural but I think you are confusing me with someone else.

[topcuppla]

You must therefore think it is unnatural if you are using it in a derogatory way?
