Many studies have shown that a passive father and a domineering mother increase the chances of a child embracing a homosexual lifestyle. I see homilists do this quite often. So Jesus warnings like Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery as well as his warnings of the last days and his second coming, are either turned into pious reflections, or twisted into contortions in pursuit of some modern day relevance. Well Jesus said this. . . But he really meant this. . .
Eschatology is non-existent in most pulpits.
Just as Protestants explain away clear scripture about the Eucharist, Mary, and the Papacy to suit their own tastes, so many of our pastors explain away scriptures lest anyone feel uncomfortable. The only difference between saints and other people is that saints accept scripture at face value and obey it, rather than look for loopholes. Human beings are not animals. We are made in the image of God. We are capable of extreme virtue and holiness.
