Who would blame Jews for the death of other Jews Oh, wait. The Ghetto Police
Not that there were no religious wars of Jews versus other Jews in Palestine before Jesus was even born.
Zealots over here, Zealots over there I forgot the names of all those hostile-to-each-other factions.
Anyway - they disliked each other even more than they disliked the Romans.
Stopped burning heretics at the stake, or otherwise torturing and murdering them.

There is a nice publication "W obronie &#;wi&#;tej Inkwizycji" ("In Defence of the Holy Inquisition") written by Roman Konik.
Author proves, that most (not all, but most) of those heretics were religious fanatics, who advocated things likes mass suicides or no sex at all, etc.
In other words - most of Medieval heretics were even worse (and even more fanatically religious) tha
Homosexuality
Throughout history, Jewish and Christian scholars have recognized that one of the principal sins involved in God’s destruction of Sodom was its people’s homosexual conduct. But today, certain lgbtq+ activists promote the plan that the sin of Sodom was merely a lack of hospitality. Although inhospitality is a sin, it is clearly the homosexual behavior of the Sodomites that is singled out for special criticism in the account of their city’s destruction. We must look to Scripture’s own interpretation of the sin of Sodom.
Jude 7 records that Sodom and Gomorrah “acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust.” Ezekiel says that Sodom committed “abominable things” (Ezek. ), which could mention to homosexual and heterosexual acts of sin. Lot even offered his two virgin daughters in place of his guests, but the men of Sodom rejected the offer, preferring homosexual sex over heterosexual sex (Gen. –9). But the Sodom incident is not the only second the Old Testament deals with homosexuality. An explicit condemnation is found in the book of Leviticus: “You shall not rest with a m
Hi Heather,
Following the Holy Scriptures the Catholic Church believes that homosexual acts &#; gay sex, in other words &#; are gravely sinful, and if deliberately done knowing this, separate you from God and imperil your soul.
Homosexual inclinations are not, in and of themselves, sinful, but they are intrinsically disordered. The attitude the Church takes to gays can be summed up by love the sinner, hate the sin. Gays warrant compassion and kind but homosexual acts cannot be tolerated.
The Catholic Church takes no official position on whether parents should shun gay relatives but
it is consistent with pleasant parenting to defend your children from being exposed to immoral situations, lest they get the impression that the gay lifestyle (or whatever the situation is) is OK.
You are living a life fundamentally contrary to the Catholic faith, and she simply sees the two of you as a bad example to her children. A relevant paragraph from the Catholic Catechism (teaching guide), number , under Chastity and homosexuality is:
"The number of men and women who Does the Catholic Church Condemn Homosexuals?CATHOLIC: Homosexual acts are depraved, but that’s not the same as saying that homosexuals are depraved. The Church, basing itself on human reason, says that in moral questions we must distinguish between the act and the person committing the act. Homosexuals have the same intrinsic dignity as all other human beings. Christ died for them as much as for you and me, and God loves them no less. OBJECTOR: Well, I think the &#;hate the sin, cherish the sinner&#; routine is empty rhetoric. Most same-sex attracted people I know who are Catholic or who have attended a Catholic church feel condemned by the Church. CATHOLIC: Yes, unfortunately, people tend to dislike other people whose behavior they consider immoral. But we still should seek the ideal of loving every human being while not viewing that person’s every act as morally acceptable. The Catechism says that homosexual people &#;must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided&#; (CCC ). OBJECTOR: Okay, if we’ |
