While true, God has adopted us, he is also directly responsible for our creation, with the parents participation. A same-sex couple adopting a...
Oof. I am going to need a pile of annulments.
Yes I am aware of this objection, it is commonly enough raised when someone, as I did, makes the point that procreation is at least one function...
Fair enough, but in this context we are, I think, talking about whether God recognizes the marriage or not. At least, I am. If the Church is...

I was not raised a Catholic; I converted at 19, so I didn’t have this kind of experience. Now, my kids are both in the local parish school. I...
Ok I’m intrigued… but I am not sure what “traditional Anglican Catholicism” means, practically speaking. Is there a church that qualifies under...
On a similar note, I was curious about what McKinnon says about why transubstantiation cannot be a correct explanation of the mystery of Holy...
I’ve listened to all of it now, and it has been a great help for me in understanding his view of Anglicanism. It does leave some questions for me...
I’ve been listening to Fr McKinnon’s Anglican Studies podcast, which was suggested here in another post. It’s been a very good listen ( despite...
