And as a Catholic, the latest news from the Vatican saddens me.

The God I pray to created all human beings. I believe he made some of them gay.

Stop thinking, and read your Bible... Your belief is not based on Scripture, but your own desire. You may have known a good man, but if he was a practicing homosexual, he was perverting his own existence, by pretending to be a man of God.

God gave us the ability to make our own decisions. He set Adam and Eve into the garden, and told them they could have anything, but not to eat from the TREE of KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL. They did. We know the rest of the story. WE KNOW right from wrong.

If you around a child, watch carefully. He/she will give you a furtive glance, when he knows he getting ready to test your will... and does something just to spite you, or provoke a response.

God told man to lie with woman. He wasn't talking about two mommies or two daddies...

The RC church's stance on priestly celibacy is also not scripturally based. It is based on their decision to make it part of their requirements for the priesthood. Jesus was a little more inclusive, and Paul directly told us that church leaders must be tested, and must be married to ONE WIFE.

Go back and read for a change. That was an editoral which appeared in The Kansas City Star, and does not by any means reflect my own views.

"...and must be married to ONE WIFE."

Paul actually said it is better to not be married. But if you do succumb to human desires make sure you are married to only one wife (For life).
