The Church will Never “Get With the Times”

During the last election, one of the candidates publicly stated that the Catholic Church had to change its teachings on marriage and human sexuality, so as to be more in tune with modern values.  Jesus addresses that sentiment during his Sermon on the Mount and because of his teaching, the Church, if it is to remain truly the Church, will never “get with the times.”
