For those of us who are not on the LDS distribution list and can't bear to cast eyes on CB, "What is the freaking policy change!"

Not a thing Bubba. ;)

Link(s)?

Pretty much.

The Pope issued this as an encyclical quite a while ago. What's the big deal?
I know, it makes no sense, internally. It's a mind blast to try to fathom homosexual behavior being a "sin," if the proclivity is something that can't be helped or wasn't caused by behavior.

Chickens coming home to roost. Dipshits.

Come on, SU. You know there is more nuance than that.

Can an action be a sin when the desire to commit the action is natural? Isn't the answer to that, theologically speaking, obviously yes? It certainly isn't only applicable to homosexual behavior. In fact, it is kind of hard to think of many sins it wouldn't apply to.

Here is one of the most amusing ones:

The day the Church condones premarital sex is the day homosexual sex will be permitted.

Tell me when that day comes please, praying for the former not the latter.

I havent' browsed CB in quite a while. I went there today and saw this thread and am reminded why I don't like it much anymore. K-Dog's interaction with Lebowski was disgraceful. The entire episode was off-putting and I am no 'liberal'. No need to go there again for a while.
