I don't mean to be off topic , but the 'gay marriage' issue within the catholic church seems to me the height of hypocrisy.
The churchs involvement with pedophile priests ,& actively covering their crimes, showing only contempt for the victims etc.
Seems its only 'ok' to fool around with kids of the same sex as long as they don't marry them......

No there is not. There is no doctrine which states pedophilia is okay. So what the priests do has nothing to do with the Church's position on the matter.

There may be no doctrine in place, but the churchs continued lack of action in having these priests charged, along with their support in moving them to new parishes clearly shows they don't view this as a crime.

It certainly gives the appearance of this. I don't think the Catholic church should have done this in this manner. It's not submitting to the laws of this land, if nothing else stops them.

At the same time, Christians aren't supposed to take each other to court...scripturally based, that. But they still do anyway.

For those who are not familiar The Book of Revelation has a passage that Christ will spew out the "lukewarm" upon his return. That it is better to be either hot or cold.

Well this is good news
Jesus is gona love me – a far as Christianity is concerned I’m at −273.15 °C and that’s absolute zero baby
