Catholic ping!
“As someone who suffered in the state of mortal sin for many years, I assure you that there is no happiness outside of the moral order. The only authentic response to the challenge of same-sex attraction and sin is the truth in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”
Actually, the author is mistaken on two counts. What is needed is not an “authentic response to the challenge of same-sex attraction and sin,” but rather authentic forgiveness, as distinct from merely institutional absolution from the Vatican. And that forgiveness can only be found in the Bible, not in Catholic doctrine.
