        Depends on how it's applied. Is it "mean" to preach "no sex outside of M-F marriage"? Truth can be difficult 2 hear.https://twitter.com/JamesMartinSJ/status/878606883803803649 …

        We need other priests following and responding to Martin's tweets, otherwise ignorant souls will surely be led astray

        And who are you to determine what an "ignorant soul"is?Most Catholics hear Mattsons every Sun,dont think they are wanting for the party line

        Few actually preach the "party line" anymore about these matters. I'm wondering if Fr Martin agrees with the "party line," but he won't say.

        Jesus never preached against "No sex outside of M-F marriage". Kinda not there in the gospels, Boo.

        How can Rome claim to be the one true church and NOT anathematize people like this guy?

        I suspect the Rich Young Ruler thought Jesus was being mean, though Christ looked at him with love, and knowing he would go away sad.

        The teachings are clear. Its these warped clergy, prelates, theologians. Some just erroneous, others outright blasphemous and heretical.
