Most Holy Redeemer Church vrs. the authority of the Church personified by their pastor and new Archbishop. How this is an example of the virtue of Tolerance being used to counter the Virtue of Chastity.
What is happening in San Francisco, and our culture as a whole, is that we are being distracted from the cardinal Virtues by the pushing forward of other good behaviors. As a child I remember hearing that certain religious were "gay" and thus learning the meaning of "sexual preference." I promptly said I didn't understand why it was a problem, because the same religous had taken vows of celibacy. Ergo, whatever their orientation, they had renounced its practice, therefore it didn't matter.
Instead of using the principles of the Church, which are difficult to explain in this age of moral relativism, I propose we drop down to the basic Virtues of our faith to explain how a Christian is supposed to live. How many of the people promoting tolerance of the homosexual lifestyle are practicing the virtue of Chastity?
Let's start with that, and explain that all men and women should be chaste, except those who are joined in the Sacrament of Matrimony. Let's push Chastity.
The devil will have a fit.
