This is a genuine question, because one of the reasons I left Christianity (I was raised Christian) was that I didn’t like how they hate gay people, are pro-life, etc., and overall are pretty hypocritical. But as I got older, I realized there are Catholics who are pro-choice, aren’t homophobic, and don’t have an issue with having sex before marriage, etc., and basically are not stereotypical religious people at all. But I have to ask—how do they justify this? I mean, it must be very confusing, because if the Bible does say being gay is a sin and you are not homophobic and are pro-LGBTQ+, then you are basically saying sinning is okay, which goes against their very religion. How about Catholics who swear? Basically, how do liberal Christians/Catholics justify their religion? Why be religious if you aren’t going to go all in?
I’m not Catholic but as far as I know, most rules from the old testament do not need to be followed as Jesus invalidated them. That’s why they can eat things like pig or sea fruit.
The bible itself provides guides for “legal” abortions as well in numbers 5, 19. Granted only priests were allowed it and the husband had to request it, but that shows that unborn life can’t be that holy for them.
