We can read in the Bible about homosexual behaviour, its consequences, and that it can be cured by God: -œDo not deceive yourselves: no fornicators, idolaters, or adulterers, no sodomites … will inherit the Kingdom. And such were some of you; but you have been washed, consecrated, justified, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1Cor 6:9-11)

The Catholic Church is not inventing anything, it witnesses what the Lord wants himself, and this is demanding and challenging.

Have a look at the interesting story of Stephen Bennet, who recovered from homosexualism: http://www.sbministries.org/

As a response to Dan about censorship. The group you created must have had something in it that was offensive. There is a growing group on the site specifically for gay Catholics. http://www.xt3.com/group/view.php?id=472

Until I am proven otherwise, without a shadow of a doubt, that these words were spoken and written by God and/or Jesus I will continue to live my life the way that I see fit, relying on my intuition, instinct and my own moral compass. Principles such as these dogmatically thrust upon us MUST be questioned. I find it hard to see the difference between the behaviour of a dictator, to the preachings of a religious denomination. Yet people will happily follow like sheep, in faith, to teachings from thousands of years ago (subject to Chinese Whispers mind you) but wont listen to a community of people who are at their very core, made the way they are GAY! It’s not a choice! We’re bound to this orientation whether God’s involved or not. I’m baptised Roman Catholic…a load of good that was huh? And I wont be told that I’m wrong.

Whatever your sexual orientation, as catholic you have a very clear guidance in the Revelation as given by Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the catholic church: all sexual activity outside of marriage is morally not acceptable because as we can read in Theology of the Body by JPII, sexual activity must be free, total, faithful, and fruitful – something that can be only achieved in the sacrament of matrimony.

I think this whole discussion here is missing the point.

“HIV was part of God’s plan” – I’m starting to think God doesn’t like straight black people in Africa & wants to exterminate them all with HIV :) ???? Fair comparision!

I tried to create a more supportive group for gay Catholics but it was deleted several days later, labeled a “protest group”… so much for free debate.

It’s really sad the church has to resort to censorship to get its message across.
