it contradicts the fundamentalists beliefs. lol.
The official stance of the RCC on homosexuality is the same as ours. You devout Catholic is denying the teachings of her religion, therefore she is not a devout Catholic.
The Vatican has stated that any Catholic who support gay marriages, abortion, birth control, and other behaviors that go agaist their doctrine are to be refused the sacriments.
Where do you get the idea that Christianity is a tolerant faith?
Matt 10:34-39
34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 "For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. 37 "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 "He who has found his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake shall find it.
