Ben shapiro is gay

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Counsel of Trent podcast. But Ben Shapiro asked me to come on to his show to give my perspective, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss this issue and the Catholic faith in a broader way to his audience. The church has not changed its gay on marriage, and it has prohibited the kinds of things being advocated for in Germany, like formal blessings in the ritual or ben for so-called same-sex couples.

One thing I should have added in our interview is the scandal of this document blurring the lines between blessing individuals who are in a sinful relationship so as to lead them closer to God and creating a situation where it looks like a priest is blessing the sinful relationship itself. Even the phrase gay couple in the document can create this impression and so it should have been avoided.

The danger is that permission for a spontaneous blessing that could be okay for people shapiro a sinful relationship who genuinely seek after God will become permission for so-called same-sex couples to purposefully seek out these blessings simply to validate their own sinful desires.

So my overall summary would be this. The document in principle is Orthodox because it speaks of sinners seeking spontaneous blessings in order to live better lives. So while the document is orthodox in principle, one can object to its effects in practice because it could lead to lots of abuse.

He blesses sinful man so that He may recognize that He is part of his plan of love and allow himself to be changed by Him. He, in fact, God in fact, takes us as we are, but never leaves us as we are.

Creep of the Week: Ben Shapiro

Joining us on the line is Trent Horn. Trent, thanks so much for joining the ben. So all the headlines from the media are that the Pope basically just greenlit same-sex marriage, or at the very least that he committed to allowing blessings for same-sex couples. Giving a blessing to a sinner is not really the issue. The real question is, what exactly is this letter doing that broadens anything out?

But to put strict parameters around this, the other context related to this letter is the fact that the Pope and the Vatican for the past few years have had to deal with the Catholic Church in Germany offering formal blessings. So I think for a lot of people to understand this document, we have to shapiro at three things: the sacrament of marriage, formal or liturgical blessings and then spontaneous blessings.

So the document is very clear just as it has been in an Amoris laetitia previous document from the Pope that marriage is only for men and women. Sexual activity, as it says in this document, is only for men and women in a monogamous relationship open to the generation of children.

That has not changed, that cannot change. It says that to avoid any form of confusion or scandal, the prayer of blessing given by a couple, it cannot be done in any way that resembles a wedding or a marriage in any way like that. But then there are spontaneous blessings.

Like you said, well, what has really changed? Well, like I said, the church is a gay church. There was a document recently released from the Vatican underscoring the fact that there are parts of South America where priests will not baptize children of single mothers. So I think the church is wanting to invite people who are seeking out God in spite of their sins and trying to put up these parameters.
