Good Friday: All you who pass this way, look and see
The crucified Christ reaches into our hearts, not so we can find God but because God finds us. Jesus and the Father are One in our suffering and the Spirit comforts us, all in that moment. Jesus is not the other on our behalf. Instead, our otherness is gone in His cry of foresakeness. In the crucified Christ, we see ourselves. The challenge of the Christ is to also see others as Christ sees them, in love.
If God is not imposing a moral code, there is no justification for not celebrating gay marriage. Indeed, most Catholic sexual teaching goes on the trash heap.
