Homosexuals in the Catholic Church

Westhempsteadgal,Frank. One subject that drives "Itchy Watch" crazy is Homosexuality. He had challenged me on that subject, and I had explained that I do not hate the person engaged in the practice, but the act itself. He wanted to know where our religion had stated that fact, and I had answered him with excerpts from the catholic catechism, of which he has no knowledge whatsoever.: Full Text of Catholic Catechism Regarding Homosexuality : #2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. #2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. #2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection. Once we deviate from the teachings of the Catholic Church, we are engaged in the destruction of our infrastructure, which is what the Homosexuals are doing. To teach anything other than what is in the Catholic Catechism, is to damn yourself and those that you are teaching. Apostasy, which was forecast by the appearance of our Blessed Mother of Jesus, to our Lady of Akita, and had warned about it, is already taking place. By bending the rules, diminishing the sacredness of the Mass, and the receiving of the Body,Blood,Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus, Apostasy creeps in the door. I had seen a video of the girlfriend in a South American dictatorship, bite the host in half, and put the other half in her pocket, to give it to her Dictator boyfriend later, who was not allowed to be given the host by that parish(posted in "The catholic caveman"). The Pope had directed that communion should not be given to any politician that backs ABORTIONS, and many Bishops, Pastors, and Priest have ignore this directive. Because of my replying to "Itchy Watch" this way, he called me a "Homophobe" Dominus Vobiscum
