Tim Kaine claims Catholic Church could change on gay marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Washington D.C., Sep 11, 2016 \/ 04:50 pm (CNA\/EWTN News).- Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, a Catholic who is currently the junior Virginia senator, said on Saturday that he thinks the Church will eventually drop its opposition to same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s going to change because my church also teaches me about a creator who, in the first chapter of Genesis, surveyed the entire world, including mankind, and said, \u2018It is very good\u2019,\u201d Kaine said Sept. 10, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

His comments came during his keynote address at the national dinner for Human Rights Campaign, an influential LGBT advocacy group, in Washington, D.C.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim Kaine is no doubt another great Selfie Prophet. Being able to predict that the Church will change to his beliefs. That after close to 2,000 years finally we have a theologian with the depth of Kaine to set us straight (pun always intended).<\/p>\n

Just like the religious sisters who proclaim themselves part of a prophetic movement. More like a pathetic movement. They are prophets not calling for people to repent, but for the Church to do so. Prophets applauded rather than persecuted. The Old Testament prophet had to call out the people for being lax and following the spirit of the age. These modern \u201cprophets\u201d say \u201cHey get with the spirit of the age\u201d and that those who actually follow and believe Church teaching must repent.<\/p>\n

The hubris of the age is \u201cThe Church is wrong and I am right.\u201d My will be done. In my own experience I found the exact opposite to be true.<\/p>\n

Really I can\u2019t understand the idea of wanting to belong to a Church that could change here teaching. One that does is a human institution with no authority to teach. Development of doctrine is one thing, theological U-Turns quite another.<\/p>\n

An imbecile habit has risen in modern controversy of saying that such and such a creed can be held in one age but cannot be held in another. Some dogma was credible in the 12th century, but is not credible in the 20th. You might as well say that a certain philosophy can be believed on Mondays, but cannot be believed on Tuesdays (G.K. Chesterton – Orthodoxy)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If same-sex marriage was actually marriage then you would have to say the Holy Spirit was rather incompetent. That somehow nowhere in scripture is there one example of same-sex marriage being normative. That God from the beginning intended homosexual acts to be normative, and yet never mention this fact or guides his people to this fact. That we had to wait for abortion loving Democrats to finally learn the truth.<\/p>\n

Recently we had a Catholic Vice President officiate a so-called same-sex marriage, and now a Catholic VP candidate telling us how the Church will change regarding this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
