That's right, that is what MY Catholic church taught me. It's what I believe ... what did your Catholic Church teach you, that it was OK to be gay? Your Parrish has a religious screw loose if that's the case!
Do you believe in that totally ridiculous idea that people choose to be homosexual? That is to say they are not born homosexual.
Yes I do ... if you say they are "born" homosexual so society must give them a pass, then fine, what about pedophiles ... aren't they "born" that way then too? So we give both gays and pedophiles a pass because they were just "born" that way. Hey, it's just a sexual abnormality they were born with, not their fault. If you believe that, pal, you are headed for some real problems. I'm getting sicker and sicker of this "hey do anything (or anybody) you want" .. life is great, there are no religious downsides anymore, that's "old hat" ... we'll see in the end won't we?
Whoa Patriots. Let’s take a step back and refocus.
I always ask people like you: Who would choose to be gay if they were not?
Being born homosexual is no different than being born with a congenital disease or missing an arm. Something went terribly wrong in the womb.
The Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuality. How could it? The person was born that way. The Catholic Church does condemn homosexual acts. That is why it is possible to be both Catholic and homosexual.
I never said homosexual behavior should be given a pass. However, as long as the behavior is kept in the bedroom I don’t see it as any of my business. God is the judge, not me.
I do take great exception to the Gay Pride Day twits that make public asses of themselves and try to tear down the sacrament of matrimony. Despite the media’s fascination and coverage of their antics, this crowd is really a small percent of the homsexual population, And, of course, crimes committed by gay people should be prosecuted—just like crimes committed by hetero folks.
Can you at least agree that gays are God’s children, too?
If none of this makes any sense to you, then I wish you well in your role as God.
