Dissident, Not Devout, Catholic Tim Kaine Rejects the Revealed Truth About Marriage
Evangelical leader Dr. Michael Brown recently explained how the allegedly devout Catholic Tim Kaine has rejected the truth about marriage as revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. Two months ago, I wrote about Kaine’s rejection of the right to life of our youngest neighbors in the womb, noting, “His position is morally incoherent and unfaithful to the Bible, Christian tradition and Catholic doctrine.”
So, it is not only on the right to life that Kaine is in serious error. Now he rejects the truth about marriage.
To be precise, Kaine told 3,600 attendees at the annual dinner of the “Human Rights Campaign” that “my full complete unconditional support for marriage equality is at odds with the current doctrine of the Church that I still attend. But I think that’s going to change too. …”
This is a reversal of his earlier view. During his 2005 campaign for governor of Virginia, he defended marriage, stating in a radio ad, “I’m against same-sex marriage. I’m conservative on personal responsibility, character, family and the sanctity of life. These are my values and that’s what I believe.”
His “evolved” rejection of marriage, which conveniently tracks changing public opinion, completely rejects Catholic teaching. Dare I call it the “h” word? The Catechism of the Catholic Church, citing the Code of Canon Law #751, defines heresy as “the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith.”
The Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith is the Vatican watchdog. They issued a doctrinal note to Catholic politicians in 2002 including this direction that “the family needs to be safeguarded and promoted, based on monogamous marriage between a man and a woman.” The note was signed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, then Prefect of the Congregation. Most will recognize the name. He went on to become Pope Benedict XVI.
Tim Kaine is not a defender of marriage and the family. He undermines both and admits to being “at odds” with the doctrine of the Catholic Church…..
