Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses. Christ Jesus unveiled more of the spiritual basis of the moral law, but of this law he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17;
Mrs. Eddy in her revelation of Christian Science shows us that human behavior in accord with the moral law is scientifically related to divine Truth. And in this scientific relationship we find the basis for the healing of sin. That homosexuality is a deviation from the moral law is made plain in the Bible, where it is recorded that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "If a man ... lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:13;
In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount we find the harshness of the Mosaic law modified. We also find emphasis placed more on motives than on overt acts. But we do not find any actual change in the rightness or wrongness of behavior in regard to sex. Lust is explained as a thing of the heart, and Christian Science shows that the motives of the heart govern the acts of the body as well as the health of the body.

Lmao, your ignorance about this subject shows immediately.
Padre Pio was considered a scammer by the Catholic church itself and was also found to be a fraud when visited by the doctors sent by the pope to determine if the scars he showed to his followers were of divine origin. When analysed the doctors found that they were most likely self inflicted wounds (there’s also the testimony of a pharmacist who sold this con man some carbolic acid) and that he was putting forward a show for his followers, so much so that he was denied the right to celebrate mass for his schemes. It was John Paul the 2nd who canonized him in 2002 because he realized that if he wanted the support of the gullible people in southern Italy he would have needed to give them something in return; and so he did, by making him a saint against the better judgment of Benedict the 15th and of Pio the 11th, the popes who lived during his times and who barred him from celebrating mass.
I’d love to give you some references to educate you but unfortunately most of the material is in Italian language and your ignorance prevents you from accessing it.
Padre Pio did not invent the microscope but he was able to create a cult worshipping his image in lieu of god, a sin which should be very grave according to the Christian faith tenets
No. You are a story teller. Your source is mainly calumny.
Anybody can do that to Jesus, Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio. In fact, stigmas of Christ is not something new in the Church.
When something miraculous begins, it has to be investigated.
According to my source, people wanted him out of the way.
According to my source, there was no carbolic acid mentioned.
According to my source, doctors examined with wonders (lots of blood loss).
He lived in a monastery. You don’t need a doctor to declare it was a fraud if it was really a fraud.
Perhaps the whole monastery was involved?
Pope Pius 11 had no letter against Padre Pio.
Your story is full of interpolations and holes.
And I see your trust in the ‘popes’ here.
Catholics don’t worship images. (Your ignorance again).
Padre Pio lived through the 1st and 2nd world war, and he fought modernism tooth and nail.
Please give me your Italian reference (even a child could read Italian these days).
Make sure it is Catholic (that is what you claimed) (or don’t worry, I will accept any link).
