re: The Vatican comes out against polygamy, reasserts its position on same-sex marriage...

Surely there are other, less extreme measures such as withholding sacraments.

It's Roman Catholic, not Catholic Church. The title of the "Holy Apostolic Catholic Church" belongs to the Orthodox.

It is not. For there are a multitude of different churches that are in union with the Bishop of Rome and thus part of the Catholic Church:

Coptic Catholic Church
Eritrean Catholic Church
Armenian Catholic Church
Albanian Greek Catholic Church
Belarussian Greek Catholic Church
Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church
Greek Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia
Greek Byzantine Catholic Church
Hungarian Greek Catholic Church
Italo-Albanian Catholic Church
Latin Catholic Church
Macedonian Greek Catholic Church
Melkite Greek Catholic Church
Romanian Greek Catholic Church
Russian Greek Catholic Church
Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church
Slovak Greek Catholic Church
Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

Syro-Malabar Catholic Church
Maronite Catholic Church

Fine and good for religious platform.

But it should have zero influence on public policy.

---

Yeah cause our nation wasn't founded on the Christian moral compass, and our legal system has not been influenced at all by it. Not at all...smfh you lefties are retarded.

church history. is religiosity

Not my catholic church

We are not, and have never been, a Christian nation.

The Constitution is the highest law in our country.

You are free to worship as you want, but religion does not belong in our laws or public policy.

You can keep telling yourself all that, but shows how ignorant you are to our history and the foundation of our laws.

You are aware the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed was written in AD 325 -- almost 800 years before the patriarchate in Rome was excommunicated from the majority Patriarchates during the great schism?

LOL you must not be aware that the Pope does the excommunicating right.
and you dont have a pope.
You also are not aware that the first two times yall were excommunicated for denying the papacy you guys recanted and rejoined the true church and accepted the papacy.
so you guys dont know what you believe because over the course of about 300 years yall changed your minds three times.
We have never changed.
In the year 312 Eusebius (a Catholic Bishop) wrote a Church history book in which he list every Bishop of Rome al the way back to Peter.

here's the good news jethro, the episcopal, methodist, presbryterian's and lutherians let you have sex with an animal and bless your union in their empty churches! 400 years the beginning middle and end of the satanically inspired protestant reformation, turns out it was just a blip, a rounding area in the history of the church, reduced to a foot note.

don't worry you'll always have the big box church of a formal kohls store of protestant gobbledgook to sustain your deep abiding christian faith.

as a catholic married for 40 years i especially admire your jump over the broomstick approach to marriage!

This is a prime example of how laughably bad Roman Catholics are at church history.

Son, you've no idea what you're talking about.
