This kind of vile, hateful and ugly post proves to me that you are not Catholic. You claim to be a Catholic Catechist, yet you were completely unaware of the relevant portions of the Catholic Catechism that spoke to homosexuality. And now you are violating the precepts of that catechism which says Gays are to be treated with compassion, sensitivity and respect.
There is no respect, no compassion and certainly no sensitivity in this posting. Just more discrimination and hatred. Which the Catholic catechism forbids. If you were a Catholic, much less a Catholic Catechist as you claim, your posts would be very different.
Questioner I am not unaware of the churches teaching in the CCC. I had to buy the book obviously for classes - and it was reviewed in french prior to release by my instructor. In fact everyone knows the churches position on Gays, "love the sinner and hate the sin" is the famous summation.
The problem is the you have tried to use the text to "absolve" practicing homosexuals - this is a missrepresentation of the churches teaching.
Your version would be "love the sinner and assume the sin isn't a sin because God did made the person that way" twisting the CCC's passages that attempt to welcome back repentant sinners.
I backed off on you because you WERE at least reading the CCC. That is a posative step - even if you don't understand it any better than the comments of Paul regarding women (missing the last proverb).
My point is that you have your nose in the bible and the CCC. So I will assume that you are trying. It would be no different than if RebelSnake went to an IQ raising seminar....I would be impressed - even if he didn't leave smarter - because he was trying.
Agreed?
And I might ask - what's so insensitive about classifing stages of gayness or proto-gayness by name, type and duration?
Why isn't "gay" considered inflamitory. The term Gay doesn't speak to the matter at hand - it's just a stupid label.
