Will the Catholic Church be damaged by yesterday's wedding at Westminster Cathedral?

Certainly.

Whatever is said the optics do not look good.

Definitely! I've said my piece on the other thread.

This I don’t know as I’m not Catholic. The church in general is modernising, but possibly not the Catholic Church.

I don't think so. The church has survived much worse.

I doubt it. Brush it off Boris doesn't let anything get in the way of what he wants.

I don't understand the desire to get married in the eyes of God when you are such a sinner (in the eyes of the Church).
If he was a true Catholic he wouldn't have sought his first divorce so why bother.

It’s already today’s fish &chip wrapping paper. The general public don’t give a stuff. More important things for us to think about.
I suppose if you’ve got bugger all else to do or think about, then yes, I can see the story as riveting.

He’s Teflon coated at the moment, but we all know that Teflon wears off over time .

With you MerylStreep ?

Of course it will, this is a mere pinprick compared to earlier trials and tribulations it had endured.

The Catholic Church has covered up many wrong doings over the years, so in the big scheme of things no.

Pope Pius II before he came pope wrote one of the best selling books of the fifteenth century The Tale of Two Lovers it is one of the earliest examples of an epistolary novel, full of erotic imagery.

How many babies were literally torn from their mothers arms in Ireland and adopted against their mothers wishes?

How many priests have just been moved to another Parish to cover up allegations of sexual inappropriateness?

There are multiple examples of the wickedness of nuns in Roman Catholic Schools, installing Catholic guilt which for some people colours their lives throughout their lifetime.

Maybe it’s time for the Church to adapt and modernise?

Totally agree with MerylStreep ?

Oh my goodness there’s some wishful thinking going on here.

I agree with GG. The Catholic Church has far too many skeletons in its numerous closets to justifiably have an opinion on one wedding.

Some of us can think of numerous things at once, and still have full lives, I work as as a keyworker for example, and still manage to think about what to have for tea and issues relating to the church. If your brain cant cope with holding a number of thoughts in your head I agree it would be difficult.

He isn't a Catholic.

And the precise relevance of this comment is....?

I don’t even understand it. Can someone explain?

Could not agree more with your last sentence.
But come on. Blonde bloke marries the mother of his child: interesting, I don’t think so. ??

What am I missing?
Why would the Catholic Church be damaged?

In answer to the OP I would say the church will be no more damaged than it already is.

No. Next question?

I know someone whose brother was forbidden to marry the love of his life because she was not catholic, then he died in a car crash soon after this conversation with his parents. Humans can be so cruel. Who cares as long as they’re happy. Happiness is so hard to find and keep nowadays because some people do what they think they should do because of others feelings and not their own. Good luck to them .

Looks like another non- story. As you say greenlady next question

It was in reference to those who stated that people who had a view on this didnt have much going on in their lives. I was pointing out that was nonsense.
