Please stop labeling bishops who speak the truth of the Gospel as homophobic. God gave us sexual intimacy for the procreation of children and the deeper union of a man & woman in marriage. Stating this truth is not homophobia, it is simply reality.https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/06/01/providence-bishop-faces-backlash-for-homophobic-tweet/jZojkSukKqJnLjpD720bNL/story.html …
Name one verse in the Gospels that suggests “God gave us sexual intimacy for the procreation of children and the deeper union of a man & woman in marriage.” Oh and don’t you dare cite Leviticus unless you also stone your disobedient children.

Your PhD is in religious studies or something similar, yeah? You should understand the fundaments of Hermeneutics and the rather reasonable steps a Catholic might make to come to the above assertion. Do better.

@Bishopoftyler has a stance on marriage I reject. My problem isn’t that we disagree. My problem is his assumption that his Church’s hermeneutical & theological choices should be immune from criticism. -
This, I think, is an arguement worthy of someone's time. But it's also very different than implying theological hermeneutics consists solely of finding a biblical texts that clearly affirms one's claim.
-
I agree with that, certainly. There’s way too much Bible verse badminton going on in the world & it is definitely not theological hermeneutics.

This "expert in religions" does not know that Leviticus is not in the Gospels and doesn't seem to know or understand that Catholics draw their teaching from both sacred scripture AND sacred tradition.

AND the Teaching Magisterium.

You’re trying to pin a Catholic Bishop to the Bible alone? I thought you were some sort of religious studies expert. Go back to school.

Some people only play experts on TV. When Jesus teaches against divorce he cites Genesis’s purpose for marriage-the coming together of man and woman. He presupposes such union involves mutual “knowing” and such “knowing” is by nature procreative.

Matthew 19:4-6, for the union of man and woman in marriage part (lmao at you assuming such a text doesn't exist; fail REAL hard guy). The procreation of children is just obvious, natural byproduct of that union.

Being overly "educated" used to mean you had to come up with novel interpretations and half-truths to justify your heresy. He doesn't even know the basics.

Mark 10:6-8 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

It becomes quite clear that someone has a limited understanding of Christianity when they ask a Catholic Bishop for proof texts (which do exist) as though he is a fundamentalist Sunday school teacher

If someone has to explain to you that leviticus isn't in the gospels, I think you need more of a baseline understanding of the bible first.

2 Tim 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" Next...

I just showed the fallacy of the idea that the only parts of the Bible valid for doctrine are contained in the Gospels and you ask me if I know what the Gospels are...that post was for folks like you.

Then you have only laws and no faith: "So then FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God." Rom 10:17. And if your faith isn't based on the Bible, then how can you be saved? "For by grace are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God"
