Conservative Catholic Blogs On Gay Marriage

By Shawn Hunter


Millions of people have reacted when the United States approved and legalized gay wedding in all parts of the country. It is a popular belief that change is the only constant in this world. For open minded folk, they may agree to this notion. But for some, the idea of gay wedding is just absurd and unacceptable.

Since its legalization became very controversial, you will find a lot of articles that discusses it. Because it has divided the people, you can find a lot of pros and cons of same sex matrimony. If you noticed, most conservative Catholic blogs are greatly against on this type of marriage. This is because they give so much importance on the bible. They believed that God did not create gay individuals, instead made man and woman in his likeness and image.

If you read these blogs, you will know why the Catholic church has high regards to matrimony and sexuality. Some blogs are even calling the acceptance of bishop of the matrimony as blasphemy. In order to have a clear understanding of why they intensely contradict legalization, this article has listed unbiased reasons.

Although this may be very offending to homosexual individuals, they believed that gays do not have a place on the earth. That is because it has been stated in the bible that only a man and a wife have been created. Although others have embraced the LGBT individuals, conservative catholics remained to honor the traditional wedding. It has been taught that it is a sacred union.

Catholics do not believe in oral, anal intercourse, and masturbation. Intercourse in matrimony should be able to make a man and woman unite in the flesh. Therefore, intercourse other than this is not consummated.

It may endanger propagation. Since marrying someone of the same gender makes conception impossible, it may affect the population of the human race. God commanded man and spouse to multiply. This is the reason why they do not agree on gay weddings.

The sacrament of matrimony is holy. If you have listened well to your religion teacher, you will remember that Christ married the church. Although this is a metaphor, these people believed that it is a divine bond between Christ and the church as his bride. This has also the same meaning between the groom and his bride.

Conventional marriage has more benefits than same sex. One of the great benefits is their ability to have a child and build a family. Although homosexual couples can adopt, this may be confusing for the child. The child may become baffled why he has 2 fathers or mothers.

Although the world may be quite judgmental of these people, we have not right to judge and hurt their feelings. Of course, people may say that the only thing they felt for each other is lust and not love. Most people may tell them that one day, the other person will leave them for a real man or woman. But if their love for each other is pure, then you should not stand in the way, just because you do not believe them. Love your neighbors as I loved you, this is the greatest command of Christ. Being a catholic means honoring His command.
