asked a question regarding gay acceptance in the Church...he's walking a fine line between conservatives and progressives, but it shows that "Doctrine" is another word for "Current Teaching" and is not to be confused with "Dogma"...the first can be changed...the second can't.
The attached link shows that there are many Catholic leaders around the world who believe that the LGBTQ+ community should be fully accepted in the Church, so this issue isn't going away, and there is a non-zero chance that they will be in your lifetime.
Right now, the Church's teaching is that they'll only bless a marriage of a man and woman...ostensibly due to the opportunity for biological parenthood...which brings up the question of why the Church "marries" older couples when the woman is well past menopause...should they change the teaching to invalidate and annul all previous marriages that involved such a relationship?...I mean there was never a chance for the creation of a family...right?...But they could adopt, you say...well so could a gay couple...but the children would have a father and mother...much better you say....but the father could be a no-count abusive alcoholic...whereas, the gay couple is super stable, loving and regular Mass attendees who would put their kids in Baptismal classes, etc....how do you deal with that?...by now I hope you see the lack of logic in the Catholic Church's "Doctrinal Teaching"...it needs to change...and I'm guessing that it will.
This isn't about "Popular Opinion" at all...it's about Justice and Fairness...fortunately, more and more people are "getting it"...come join them.
I'm not trying to shut you down on this...I've spent my entire life in the Catholic Church, so I know the feelings on both sides...plus, I wasn't 'born with' my perception...it took much discernment for me, but I am completely at ease with it now...so...back to you.
