"Are Catholics allowed to attend same - sex weddings?"

The Catholic Answers Magazine's Jim Blackburn answers this one!

In the March - April 2012 edition.

"Attending a same - sex wedding would seem to support the couple in grave sin and send the wrong message to others (i.e., give scandal)

"The Catechism of the Catholic Church states...."

And, here it is:

"Every word or attitude is forbidden which by flattery, adulation, or complaisance encourages and confirms another in malicious acts and perverse conduct.

"Adulation is a grave fault if it makes one an accomplice in another's vices or grave sins.

"Neither the desire to be of service nor friendship justifies duplicitous speech.

"Adulation is a venial sin when it only seeks to be agreeable, to avoid evil, to meet a need or to obtains legitimate advantages" (CCC 2480).
