Most freepers know this but at every Catholic wedding which is a sacrament, the priests asks the bride and groom whether they are open to having children. IVF is not allowed by the Church because it results in dead embryos and there are other reasons but that’s the main one. God has control of creation, not man. Sex outside of marriage is forbidden. So your kid who is living with his girl friend has the same problem as a same sex couple. So its not like a person coming up for Communion has to answer a set of questions before he/she receives communion but if he/she goes back to the sacristy before Mass and demands Communion in spite of living with someone to whom he/she is not married, then the priest has to refuse Communion. This is for Catholics, the Body and Blood of Christ. So there may have to be some priests who go to jail. We’ll see.

“Catholic teaching on homosexuality is ‘abusive’ and ‘gravely evil’”

If I found that my desires conflicted with scripture, I would not conclude that God’s word was evil. I would look in a mirror to find the error and resist my personal desires based on the superior guidance of the ultimate expert. It’s sad that someone so shallow and self-centered has a role in Church education.

Every year, somebody asks me if I am going to the Religious Ed. Congress. Every year I say no. I just don’t get how people can let the wolves into the sheepfold, and they think they are perfectly safe— really just a misunderstood breed of sheep.

Please Lord— thy kingdom come== sooner rather than later.

Maybe those Folsum street irregulars should vote with their feet and move to NYC and let Dolan laugh at their perverse antics. When the Irainan’s A bomb NYC problem solved.

I used to cringe when FReepers would post that the Church was filled with homosexuals; now I just accept that as truth - mainly because there never seem to be repercussions when some freak has a public outburst like this.

Will somebody please be so kind as to tell me what the Catholic teaching on homosexuality is? (Note that the Church’s teaching should be what the Holy Bible indicates about the issue.)

On one hand, we have people like Cardinal Doland seemingly condoning homosexuality.

On the other hand, gay activist Arthur Fitzmaurice, who seems to be unfamiliar with Holy Bible passages which clearly condemn homosexuality, is condemning the Church’s teaching about homosexuality.

Regarding Cardinal Dolan’s open arms for LGBT, Luke 12:51 shows us that Jesus explained that he did not come to bring peace on earth but division.

Regarding the gay agenda, the Holy Bible condemns same-sex sexual relationships as evidenced by Romans 1:25-27.

And speaking of how Jesus “welcomed” unrepentant sinners, Matthew 18:15-17 shows that Jesus taught that a congregation is ultimately supposed to give unrepentant sinners the boot. (Matthew 23 also shows Jesus “welcoming” the Pharisees.)

Also, 1 Corinthians 5 is an example of a congregation getting repremanded for not complying with Jesus’ teaching where sexual offenders are concerned.

Note that 1 Corithians 5:11 teaches Christians not to even eat with unrepentant sinners.

Will somebody please be so kind as to tell me what the Catholic teaching on homosexuality is?

Every human being is called to receive a gift of divine sonship, to become a child of God by grace. However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behavior—that is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. The Catholic Church teaches that such acts are always violations of divine and natural law.

Homosexual desires, however, are not in themselves sinful. People are subject to a wide variety of sinful desires over which they have little direct control, but these do not become sinful until a person acts upon them, either by acting out the desire or by encouraging the desire and deliberately engaging in fantasies about acting it out. People tempted by homosexual desires, like people tempted by improper heterosexual desires, are not sinning until they act upon those desires in some manner.

When did this "conference" begin and who was the bishop at that time?

I don’t know. It was already a fixture here in LA in the early 90s, when I moved to LA. It had controversial speakers back then, too, like the guy who told kids at the Youth Day part of the conference that being in gangs was ok.

Only thing abusive will this sodomite’s rectum when he comes down with rectal cancer. The average age of death from sodomites is 45. Either from some form of cancer, usually cancer of the anus, or suicide. So go right ahead and live out your short perverted, immoral life. Personally I would suggest you get right with the Lord for the few short years you have left.
