    Gay Marriage - Big Deal?

    We should work to have gay marriage accepted in the Church. In fact, I do not know if there is a debate in hand: Progressive Catholics must support gay marriage as couples must participate in the sacrament of marriage.

    "Ecclesia catholica semper in reformatione" yes, we would dare to shape something according to its essential being. As the Church Council in 1414 calls for (way before VII): "reform in faith and practice, in head and members."
