      The world is very quickly accepting "same-sex unions" and the upcoming generations are going to walk away from religions that continue to take this kind of stand against those who have, as religions like to say, 'same-sex attractions.' And they only have the power you give them.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1371426053319708681 …

      The Church will lose even faster if it walks away from its entire Scripture-and-tradition basis for legitimacy.

      Maybe, but there's a collision course coming on this stuff where you have the hardliners who want to maintain a more fundamental set of standards vs the more progressive members who don't view it as literally true, but morally good.

      The history of the Christian faith is full of collisions between the people who believed and the people who did not. Adhering to the faith when it is unfashionable, unpopular, even dangerous is the true test of whether you joined a church or a social club.

          The recent trajectory of mainline Protestant churches going soft on scripture is uhh, not encouraging

          Plus there really isn’t even a mechanism for the Catholic Church to change a dogma like this without losing all of its credibility. It’s entire reason for existing would collapse if it suddenly said it’d been wrong about doctrine for 2,000 years.

          Plus there isn’t a shortage of woke Protestant churches to go to if that’s your thing.

          Yes, but the history of Christianity changes based on how we interpret writings as our knowledge advances. There's a vast difference between a very fundamentalist religion and one that is more 'liberal/progressive' in their teachings, but both would claim to believe in Christ.

          Plus we can see the absolute cratering of attendance/membership numbers from the last 30 yrs of Protestant denominations that have “evolved” their view of scriptures to fit the culture vs those that have not.

          A long time ago the Catholic Church would arrest people for publicly rejecting scripture that held the earth as the center of the universe. More recently the Church played a major role in developing the big bang theory and endorses evolution. The Church can change on this too.

          But didn’t the church use this same true-test logic when they first rejected the theory of evolution?

          Is a strict prohibition against gay marriage/relationships a core teaching of Jesus? Or a teaching at all? I understand there are references, but is it in any way foundational? (See also, divorce/annulments)
