Pope Francis Allows Priests to Bless Same-Sex Relationships
MY SAY: This is an abomination. The sanctity of marriage is only between a man and a woman, and no man, not even the Pope, can change that.

"The sanctity of marriage is only between a man and a woman"
Who says so?
Also, what is it to you what other people do or who they love? What skin do you have in the game?

For the most part, I guess folks are relying on Ephesians 5:31-32; Genesis 2:24 from the Old and New Testament. It is a matter of faith. What is skin in the game if not based upon one’s beliefs? Without a difference of opinion there would be only one game.

And through out the history of human kind marriage was between a man and a women . It was used to establish paternity, husbands responsibility etc. it was the bases of transferring societal values etc.

Spiritual Necessities
In his book The Fulfilled Family, John MacArthur sets the stage for Paul’s discussion of marriage and family.
It is vital to understand that Paul wrote his instructions about marriage in Ephesians 5 for Christians. He addressed the entire epistle to a church. The first four chapters are all about the Christian’s position in Christ, and everything Paul said to fathers, mothers, and children presupposed that he was speaking to believers. If you’re not a Christian, there is no hope whatsoever that you can make your marriage and your family everything God intended them to be, unless you first acknowledge your need for Christ and trust Him as Lord and Savior.
Obviously, there are non-Christian families that appear to be successful, to a point. They may have orderly homes, with well-behaved children and close, lasting relationships between family members. But wherever Christ is not recognized as Lord of the family, the seeds of that family’s ultimate breakdown are already present. Such a family has no real spiritual stability, and (especially in a society where the family is already under siege) that family is courting disaster. To borrow imagery from Matthew 7:26–27, such a family is like an impressive structure built on sand. When the floodwaters come, its fall will be great.
For all the noise over defending traditional marriage, this fundamental point is rarely mentioned: God’s design for marriage and family starts with a right relationship with Him. Apart from a firm foundation in the Lord, no marriage can achieve what God intends for it.Blessings. GTY

Well said. I would add that for a person to accept Christ into their life as their personal Lord and Savior they must REPENT.

Yeah but your say doesn't matter...and you clearly don't even know your own religion or its dogma either. "Sanctity" of marriage. All the Christian religious figures had multiple wives. Lot was raped by his own daughters. The Abrahamic god committed infanticide and genocide...like c'mon let's be realistic about all the Abrahamic religions. There's no "sanctity" of anything in any of the three of them.
Also marriage was created as a way to transfer money, land, titles, power, etc. Girls (not women but girls) were seen as property as well and basically breed stock. So I don't know why people say they want to go back to "traditional marriage." The idea of marriage for love is a relatively modern concept.
If your god is truly a loving god, if your god created everything in its image and makes no mistakes then it created homosexuals. It created transgender people. Etc, etc.
Either way it doesn't affect you in any way, shape or form.

So, why don't you use a horse and buggy? Have times changed? Yes, but principles evolve. Same-sex unions are DE-volution, not evolution. Homosexuality is an abomination. The goal of LGBTQ-XYZ is pedophilia and conversion. They can't bear children naturally themselves, many of them, so they want to steal heterosexual couple's children in order to indoctrinate them into hell.

MAJ Montgomery Granger bigot. That's all I see.
You people cry you want traditional marriage. Well that's what "traditional marriage" is. Girls as property. That's what you want.
Homosexual people who are fertile can 100% bear children. Many do. Finding a surrogate to carry an embryo with their sperm or a woman carried an embryo that's either her or her partner's egg. Happens all the time. Or there are gay couples who find a friend willing to help. A gay man can impregnate a woman through sex. And a lesbian can get pregnant from a man. Did someone not explain to you how that works?
Even heterosexual couples use sperm or egg donors or IVF. Bet you don't get upset about that.
"Steak heterosexual couples children?" Wtf are you on? I mean adoption in the US is legal trafficking no matter who does it and extremely problematic. But I bet you have no issue when a heterosexual couple can't conceive and adopts. I mean aren't they going against God's will??? If God wanted them to have a kid they could. Hmm.
Yeah you're a bigot so I'm done.
