Theoketos Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 There are more options then you allow. ALso America is run on a plurality not a majority. The Church is lead by the Holy Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 in the Catholic Church God Almighty rules, and HIS morals are to be followed. If the majority of the human beings in the Catholic Church held to different morals, they would have to submit to God's morals. If the minority in the Catholic Church held different morals, they would have to submit to God's morals. Jesus Christ is King, and He makes the rules in our house.

ironmonk Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Minority rights have nothing to do with morals. God sets morals. God is real. There is a hell. It doesn't matter if people don't want to believe, everyone eventually will. Those who really believe in God, strive to do His will. Morals in society should always be kept high because there will always be people crossing the line. If a new line is drawn each time, you eventually will loose the line altogether. Experts and educated men should make decissions. It is foolish to let mob rule. Majority is not suppose to rule, educated men should be making sound choices, but the problem is the democrats cater to special interest groups and change their stances to get elected... prime example: Gore... he use to claim to be pro-life when in TN... but to get to the Whitehouse he flip flopped....

conservativecatholic Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ironmonk is correct. The rights of minorities have no relation to a society's moral standing. Whether or not there are minorities in your area, morality and what it entails will always be debated about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I am a minority. as a filipino american. the thing is this: I did not choose to be Filipino American. I was bron one. i have no say so in the matter... I can not stop my race. I can stop my culture, however... Homosexuals are minorities based on thier actions (culture) . I think that gay peeps are born with sin. just as i am. i have the sin of lust that makes me want to get jiggy with a bunch of anonomous girls. i refrain from that sin in light of Christ. Homosexuals are to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 If there are only two choices: 1. Give minorities rights 2. Live a moral life ...then it's obvious that living a moral life is far more important. Lack of rights won't keep you out of heaven. A lack of morality will. Simple choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
