Conservative Catholic Blogs On Gay Marriage

By Shawn Hunter


The legalization of gay marriage in different parts of the world has caused a lot of commotion and controversy. As what other people say, the world is changing, so are the people who reside on this planet. It has divided people. There are people who understood that love knows no gender, while others are sticking to the conventional marriage between male and female.

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 are raised by a hardcore catholic family, it is likely that you have great deference on matrimony, family and sexuality. This is why these online journals expressed great displeasure when it became legalized. Catholic bishops who enunciate their support of gay marriage have been jolted by conservative Catholics. For sure, some individuals who dont understand why conservative Catholics are horrified by the thought of same sex wedding. Listed below are some reasons.

The bible say that God created man and woman. This is one of the reasons why the Church disapproved of homosexuals. The traditional Catholics strongly believed in doctrines of the bible. They greatly believed that homosexuals has no place in the world. Most people apprehend that it can only be enjoyed by a man and a woman, because this is a holy contract between a husband and his bride.

Sex between the husband and woman allows them to merge their flesh. Since homosexual individuals do not engage in such sex, the Church does not believe in masturbation, and anal or oral sex. This form of sex does not consummate the marriage.

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 matrimony is beneficial. One benefit enjoyed by the husband and wife is a child. With homosexual sex, it is impossible to bear a child. Although the government allows gay couples to adopt, this may not be completely beneficial on the child. The child may grow up baffled at having two mothers or fathers.

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.
