"Hardline Catholic"? Just how do you define "hardline Catholic"? Are you a devout Catholic or just a cafeteria Catholic?

And, no, a "true Christian" cannot, in good conscious, support same sex marriage. You can bob, weave, and spin all you want but, through the centuries, marriage has always been accepted to be as the sacred bonding of a man and a woman. That is what the Holy Bible, the "handbook" of Christian belief, makes quite clear.

And, while there may be Christians today who have never read the Holy Bible, one can obviously assume that, if they are Christians as you infer, they accept the teachings of that document. Otherwise, why would they claim to be "Christians"? If they do not accept those basic teachings, they are not Christians. That should be obvious.

If you do claim to be a practicing Catholic, I would recommend that you listen a little more to Cardinal Dolan and less to Barney Frank.

I'm a devout Catholic of the traditional (Latin) rite. I appreciate your recommendation on listening to Cardinal Dolan, but it wasn't needed.

I'm not here for you're approval or condemnation. I believe strongly in equal rights for homosexual Americans. You can choose to disagree if you'd like. But don't tell me that I'm not a 'true christian' because of my beliefs.

As you state, the bible does make clear that same-sex marriage is sinful. However, I don't refer to the bible for guidance on government policy. Governments purpose is not to get people to heaven. And if it were, there'd be thousands of forms, fees, fines, regulations, and laws.
