Otherwise, why put it in quotes? Because you want to pretend that Catholic Doctrine depends on polling of cafeteria Catholics? That Doctrine changes with the ebb and flow of feelings and varying levels of adherence among the faithful? It is almost as if you are speaking for a splinter group of partial Catholics who want to speak for the actual Church (no quotes). Obviously, you know that is incorrect. Judging doctrine by the adherence of the faithful is an external, non-Catholic viewpoint.

The Church is not against any community of people. The Catholic Church clearly condemns any form of discrimination. But, you can't extrapolate from the fact that the Church embraces all people, that it therefore condones all types of behavior.

Interestingly, the National Catholic Register has no effect on Catholic Church Doctrine.

        The Pope won't judge people. Not his role. He does judge doctrine & through doctrine, behavior. - NedoftheHill - 11:19pm 6/20/21

        The quotation marks are used to emphasize that there is no consensus within the Church on the issue - TyroneIrish - 9:55pm 6/17/21
        All of those statements are either inaccurate or irrelevent. - NedoftheHill - 11:02pm 6/17/21
