The thing about the catholic church is that it allows people to be as immoral as they like, as long as they feel bad about it. The reason they ask you to believe the unbelievable and to behave in unrealistic ways functions as company stores once did, the accrued guilt of being imperfect keeps you tied to the religion which forever keeps absolving you of sin.
Sin is something that happens to you and is unavoidable, you personally are alright.
The things they ask you to believe may not be true, the way people reconcile those inconsistencies with their personal experiences is what leads some Christians to be bigots. Its a political reaction to sin is what I’m saying, and politics does not care about what is wrong or right, it cares about what is expedient.
When it becomes politically untenable to oppose homosexuality, the interpretation of scripture will be rationalized as is beginning to happen today.
I hope.
