Did you see Bill O'Reilly last night ................?

Question

Bill O'Reilly was once again talking about the gay parade in San Francisco, where the gays walked into a church and made spectacles of themselves, and took communion. Bill was really upset that the church has not taken action against this sort of thing, what do YOU think about all this ???

Answer 1

Until they start invading Mosques, Making Publicly shown defamatory Cartoon Art out of Mohamed and in Synagogues doing the same thing, I say they are Cowards...wonder if the News Media will show that?

Answer 2

You are arguing that the USA will win the war if we continue to occupy the country, without establishing a sovereign, democratic Iraq? No need to admit anything to O'Reilly, especially because the surge did not achieve its main goal. Oh, sure, violence is down and that's most likely due to the increased troop presence AND the payoffs to the Sunni militias AND the leadership of Cleric Sadr, who called a truce. Yet for all that success, none of the major political goals came into being, and thus, the surge did not work. Talk of surge also points out how wrong McCain and the republican leadership was about invading Iraq with so few troops. Had we done the job with enough troops to occupy and enforce the peace, as was requested by our military leadership, then perhaps we wouldn't be seeing your question today.

Answer 3

in all honesty I don't know enough about the ACTUAL ACTS INVOLVED IN THE ACTION, however I will say this is a potential situation where the sun shines on a dogs *** some days.

or in this case- a clown like o'reilly.

here, if the church felt pressured to give them communion for fear of a community backlash when thier normal policy would be to refuse it- then the gays are wrong- and old blohard o'reilly actually isn't (for a change).

As that would indicate the gays preventing the church from adhering to thier own beliefs and bieng forced to modify them not to "tolerate" but to "acknowledge" gays.

if the normal procedure of the church is to give communion to gays, then once again this is just bill trying to mentally "pleasrue himself" so all the people in the deep south can do so at the same time as him and see who comes around to it last.

Answer 4

I didn't see O'Reilly last night nor do I know much about the event you're talking about. With no more than I have knowledge of, here goes...

Communion is between the Christian and God. If the person sharing in the Supper isn't Christian or isn't taking the Supper seriously at the time, God will take care of it. If they appear to be respectfully worshiping, it's not our call. If ANYONE is DISRUPTING worship, our church leadership would take action. This would not include asking them to leave (at least, not at first) but if disruptions continued, they would be asked to leave in peace. Jesus didn't allow the disruptions of the moneychangers in the Temple, so, I do not believe we are required to let people disrupt worship today.

Answer 5

Just read about it. I think its disrespectful; as should anybody. This issue isnt about homosexuality and the Catholic Church. This issue is about tolerance. Nothing is sacred anymore, I am not speaking from the standpoint of being a Christians; I think this is ridiculous and I cant imagine how anyone could think this is "okay" How would those two gays who dress as nuns like it if a couple militant Christians who disliked gays crashed their gay pride parade...oops wait that did happen; and those christians got arrested. The church doesnt want to press charges. Not a big fan of the Catholic church in general...but that doesnt make me decide they deserved this either. I am ashamed at my fellow countrypeople.

EDIT: Just curious, the archbishop apologized because he said "I gave communion to those commiting a sacrilige"

Being gay friendly doesnt trump something held so holy as communion is.

Answer 6

Gays want respect. I know this, I've had quite a few friends who are homosexual. They want to be taken seriously and respected for who they are as people and to be considered normal.

I think that these folks who are doing these sorts of things are doing NOTHING for their cause. Should we not demonstrate love and acceptance before we require it from others?

Thankfully I know that this is a small and rare portion of the gay community. The ones I've known are very kind and accepting (except for the gossip- hehe).

I think the church should take action- to reply to this awful disrespectful act with love and compassion. Welcome them all to the next potluck!

Answer 7

These people went into the Church in order to cause a problem (they did bring a camera)
They should not have been given communion - just by Catholic doctrine.
I don't think the RCC should make a big deal out of it, except to say, "Everyone is welcome at our church and then explain what communion is & why they should not have given communion.
However, the media would have had a complete fit if it had happened in mosque.

Answer 8

It was two individuals in the Castro Dist. Here is link to video.

Answer 9

Jude:18-19 In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly -minded, devoid of the Spirit. Keep looking up to God!

Answer 10

Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't a homosexual take communion... I'm not Catholic, I'm LDS, so I might not understand that Catholic guidelines for communion...

Aren't a good number of priests gay? I thought this was acceptable, so I don't understand why homosexuals taking the communion is a problem...
