Apologetics and Evengelization

    gaychristian:  The Catholic Church has admitted it's fault before on certain stances (evolution, geocentric orbit, etc), is it impossible that Rome could change it's doctrine to fully accept homosexuals and their relationships (as they do with heterosexuals)? And if Rome changed it's policy tomorrow (just bear with me), how would you each react on a personal level? On an entirely different topic, what do you feel about the veneration of saints (or 'saint worship)'? -Ian

    The Church has never changed its doctrine. Some popes have apologized on behalf of the Church for misunderstandings and whatever unintended hurt has developed out of certain historical situations. As far as geocrentrism goes, here’s what really happened with Galileo. Further, evolution in itself is not a problem—evolution used in exclusive support of atheism is.

    It is, in fact, impossible for the Magisterium to change it’s position on any defined teachings of the Church, because the Church cannot change what God has decreed. So I’m afraid your question as to our personal reactions is moot.

    God bless you!
