IS THIS TRUE?

Catholics do not "judge" fornication to be sinful. We simply accept the truth as revealed by God to the Church. There is no judgment involved.

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-19)

Note that "fornicators" are the first-listed group of sinners who will forfeit salvation; and it doesn't say "fornicators who don't love each other". Do not be deceived.

sdqa...if you have read ANY of the responses to your posts, you have learned by now that the Catholic church does not judge anyone or anything.
