Statistics show that 25% of unmarried "born again" Christians are living together. This reveals an apparent hypocrisy in condemning homosexuality, while not condemning heterosexual immorality. Sad to say, co-habitation is on the increase and its participants also include the Catholic and Christian community.
There is also a need to condemn not only adultery in its blatant form of cheating on a spouse, but its camouflaged form by easy divorce to pursue second and third marriages. This has been done by those who describe themselves either as Catholic, Evangelical and even more startling the born again Christian.
The Christian community needs to take up the banner of morality and righteousness in Christ's name. If the Christian community cannot show true repentance and transformation in their own churches, how will they be able to offer Biblical and loving help to those who wish to escape their own bondage of sin?

Are those the people screaming about gay marraige? Or do we have no room to talk because someone who CLAIMS the same label used to describe us happens to be doing something hypocritical to our message?
Guilt by association is such a fallacious argument.
Guilt comes from being guilty. We do need to speak out but we can not just set out to save the world when the person next (or oursleves) is in sin. We need to reach everyone with the gospel and call Christian to account.
There will always be people who claim to be something while doing something that completely goes against what they claim to be. Kennedy, Kerry (who is coming to the Fox Chapel Barnes & Nobel in May, btw), and a slew of other pro-abortion people claim to be Roman Catholic. That doesn't make it hypocritical for you as a practicing Roman Catholic to speak out against abortion.
Anyway, Christians have been fighting the anti-co-habitation battle for decades. Its old news, so it doesn't get much play in the popular culture anymore.
