Vincent Vega Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 [quote name='OraProMe' post='1903097' date='Jun 27 2009, 09:29 PM']So if the Church is wrong on homosexuality what's that mean about the rest of the magisterium? Is Her other moral teaching infallible? Is She infallible at all? Does conscience trump ecclesial authority? I mean if even one iota of the magisterium is wrong then that throws her entire infalliblity into question, right? I don't know. It's something I'll have to figure out and come to a conclusion about but at the moment I don't know.[/quote] That's right. If She's wrong about anything, logically, it would mean she was wrong about everything. I can't understand why someone would stay with a Church that his logic has proved was wrong. So in that case, either he's wrong and doesn't want to believe it, or he's lying to himself to keep himself assuaged. [quote]However I do know that I love the Mass, I love the Faith, I love the saints, I love Pope Benedict, I love the Eucharist, I love Our Lady, I love the Rosary, I love Holy Hour, I love adoration, I love priests, I love nuns, I love prayer, I love confession and I love God.[/quote] But if it's all part of a false religion, what's the point? What's the point to putting nice decorations on a pile of rubbish? I'm not trying to tell you to leave the Church. In fact, I think it would be tragic if you did. But you need to see this: either you're wrong, or the Church is. Either way, I don't think you're being honest with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OraProMe Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Well I don't neccesarily believe because the Church is wrong on one thing the entire religion becomes worthless. I'm just doing the best to love God and be true to myself. God, as my creator, will understand my reasoning and desires far better than I could ever explain them to you guys when I die. Then he can decide what I deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If She's lying about infalibility...where does it end? [quote]I'm just doing the best to love God and be true to myself.
