Ich bin protestantischer Pfarrer in Frankreich und stimme Ihnen vollkommen zu. Die Kirche hat in Bezug auf HomosexualitÀt und queere Menschen einen schweren Fehler begangen und muss dies anerkennen.
Gott liebt alle Menschen und HomosexualitĂ€t ist keine SĂŒnde.
I don't understand it, to be honest. It may be cultural. To learn two ways to handwrite is a waste of time, agreed, but why choose the one which was not thought to be handwritten?
Yeah you're not wrong but if you're a lonely poor man, not only you suffer of poorness and loneliness, but the society says that it's your fault because you don't open up to people. Even if you're very emotionally intelligent, you feel like you're not enough.
Polls show that men aren't significantly lonelier than women. Poor people are significantly lonelier than others. So loneliness is not something men's bad âemotional intelligenceâ cause, it's something the society imposes.
French pastor here: at least in France, I am bound by professional secrecy, except for crimes. If I hear someone committed a crime, even more so if it's a repeated offense, I can and will report it. I believe it's the same for other professions, except perhaps lawyers: if a doctor learn that someone did or do a crime, they have to report it.
It's probably different in your country, I just said that because I find that interesting.
In my region of France, there are a lot of old apartments with oriels, but less decorated than this one. It's great, there are often little benches under the windows.
We could see this debate as the Catholic church being more progressive than the US and in part it's true. But it's a quite conservative view within the Catholic tradition: in the beginning of Christianity, all violence were deemed unjust, and people preferred to die than to be violent. Then Augustine and others theorized the just war, which is the base of the international war law. But in the 20^th century, the Catholic church evolved on the subject, stating again that all war were unjust:
Any apotheosis of war is to be condemned as an aberration of mind and heart. (Pope Pius 12, 1953)
It becomes impossible to believe that war is the appropriate means to obtain justice for a violation of rights. (Pope John 23)
There is no just war (Pope Francis, 2022)
The current version of The Catechism of the Catholic Church never use the expression âjust warâ, and justifies only violence in case of defense.
So the fact that the pope is arguing about just war is not the church being progressive, but being in fact fusty according to its own tradition. I think the definition the pope has to just war is not the Augustinian one, but one that limit war to defense, so the difference between him and Francis on the ideas is in fact non-existent, but the usage of the expression is by itself a defeat.
I tend to disagree. Firstly, nobody cares about my blog, so it's more a public personal journal than anything else (a web log, in other words). I do âpublish into the voidâ and I'm not delusional enough to think otherwise, I'm okay with that. Secondly, yes emails are private; but if i have an interesting discussion by mail about a blog post, I can write a second article resuming our exchange in a more easily readable way than the naked messages. Thirdly, and maybe more importantly, if someone want to make their opinion about something I wrote public, they can do it in their own place. For me the blog ideal is not a succession of isolated islands, but a interconnected net. The discussion should occur not within the blogs, but between the blogs.
Absolut! Deshalb habe ich auch queere Menschen erwÀhnt. Entschuldigung, falls mir die richtigen deutschen Wörter fehlen.

In France, children learn only cursive. It's kind of strange to learn how to manually write like a typewriterâŠ

Taking drugs, in France, is not a crime but an offence (délit). I have to report crimes but not offences.

Oui, c'est issu de la mouvance Ă©vangĂ©lique (les Ă©vangĂ©listes c'est les rĂ©dacteurs des Ă©vangiles, pour les protestant·es littĂ©ralistes on dit Ă©vangĂ©liques), mais c'est volontairement assez interdĂ©nominationnel pour laisser toutes celles et tous ceux qui croient en JĂ©sus, au-delĂ des divergences assez importantes entre nous, marcher ensemble. En tant que pasteur protestant (canal historique, donc thĂ©ologiquement assez Ă©loignĂ© des Ă©vangĂ©liques), je n'y ai jamais participĂ©, mais je vois pas ça d'un mauvais Ćil.
Mais je serais curieux de voir ce qu'il y a dans cette revue⊠pas sĂ»r qu'iels parviennent Ă ĂȘtre si interdĂ©nominationnels que ça.

As a pastor I say: amen!
Sometimes, we need to do something evil to prevent something worse. But that doesn't make the evil thing good, right or just.
Theologian here, although not Catholic.
