I think the issue involved here, is not just marriage...

I agree the Church has a right to say a marriage in this Church is only for a man and a woman, but the issue is recognition of ones Person and Faith, straight, gay, or in-between.

The Church is a bit like the U.S. military in some ways. ”Don’t ask, Don’t tell...In other wards, if you must continue coming to ”this church” and you are gay, make damn sure you don’t ACT gay while you are here, or you’re OUT. DEMON’S BE GONE!

As for the Right to Die law in Mexico City, it is neither DNR nor euthanasia(which IS illegal)

From what I understand (in the U.S. at least) a DNR is a written aknowledgment by terminally ill patients stating if I should enter a medical emergency (CODE BLUE?) NO excessive life saving procedures will be used to resesitate me.....but until I ”crash”, by law, medical personel will continue doing everything possible to prolong my life.

The right to die law allows terminal patients,exactly that..The right to die..No forced prolongation of life or suffering. A patient may REFUSE any treatments which would sustain and or prolong their ”life” which has been pre-medically deemed TERMINAL.

I wanted to be sure about the definition of DNR soI just googled it: A Do Not Resuscitate, or DNR order is a written order from a doctor that resuscitation should not be attempted if a person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest..That is definitly not the same as the Mexico City ”right to die” law.

I was raised in a rather strict Catholic environment and educated in Catholic schools thru the secundary. I still have great faith and spirituality in God , Christ,and our Saints, but am NOT a follower of the Catholic Church or any Church.

In the case of the Catholic Church here in Mexico, I feel the quote in my post about the divorcing between ones faith/morals and their lifestyle is EXACTLY what the church does.

That is only my opinion, but here in Mexico, things are very different. Roughly 86% of our country profess their faith to the Catholic Church (some more than others in regards to actually licing the staright and narrow good Catholic lifestyle)...These protestors very much want to be the ”good catholic” yet find themselves ”unusual” in their sexual preference.

I don’t personally feel they should be denied, if the so wish, the same path to God that the Catholic Church offers to everyone else.
