>>4048362>Could you expand on how this affects fathers, specifically? I've never heard of that problem before.It's been a while since I've used social media, so I don't have a clear idea how often this comes up anymore, but during the 2010s there was a growing stigma about fathers being emotionally close to their children, because men are seen as sexually deviant and incapable of controlling their urges. So, much like anons in these threads projecting homosexual attitudes onto young boys, many people (including the women in their lives) would accuse these fathers of being sexually abusive to their children. I don't know how often this was a real factor in divorces, but I know it was often used strategically for that purpose. It's been very difficult to correct, or even talk about, especially with the current hysteria and moral panics around pedophilia since the Epstein case reached mainstream consciousness.
>I also don't believe that God is bound by the sacraments or by any custom, tradition, etc. Some people would argue otherwise. I'm pretty sure there is a saying that "the Church moves in time" as far as your concern with an organism needing to evolve.If you want my opinion, every commandment given by God was given for a reason. Some of those reasons are timeless (love your neighbor, because love brings people together, as is in our nature) but some of them are context-sensitive. I'm obviously not qualified to make any authoritative decisions on which are which, but I think a person who's willing to interrogate them in their proper context can at least make some reasonable judgements - for example, most Christians accept that keeping to kosher foods was a requirement of the time. In any case, it's ultimately up to the big man himself how he judges people, so it's not my place to say either way, but I would note that the prohibition against homosexuality does not appear in the Ten Commandments, which are generally held as the most important.
