Sorry, you always keep saying the church says this and the church says that. At the same time you keep relativising the dogma by saying you understand and you don't judge. Gays, IVF and all the other matters we discussed. Because you're good at heart and you really don't want to judge. And that's why I said, there seems to be some inner conflict.
Hopefully you've seen my explanation for saying "the Church says this, and the Church says that" on my post to Alex. :-)
As for me not judging people, that's actually perfectly in line with Church teaching lol. Judge the sin, not the sinner and all that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
