Statistics will show you most mature committed homosexuals live solitary lives. Even those who manage a mutual living relationship of year or two is miniscule.. and amounts to little more than sharing rent. The few who manage long term co-habitation are ones of exhausted, hollowed out convenience.
They are a parody of real marriage.. but they find some solace in pandering the media's thirst to find 'happy homosexual' couples to put of real estate and reality shows... or news soundbites.
Even a few minerals. . .
no, Boomer is male
Then how do you explain Boomer's comment?
"Cabbies had a saying A$$, Grass or Cash.. what a women won't do for a ride in LA at times.. I was young and horny.. so, I had fun."
I heard it as Grass, gas or A$$. -![]()
Get off your phobic, opinionated butt and post them then. Spoken from a base of pure ignorance and bias. Elton John and David Furnish, 17 years together. Why would they have waited 12 years to get married if the relationship was a "hollowed out convenience" and not moved on to different people in public washrooms like "all homosexuals " do?
B. Bunny - "Ahh, whatta maroon".
How would you know what they find solace in?
Again you display a profound ignorance of science.
Oh I think plenty is going to change. While I doubt they will institute gay marriage, the sexual orientation of a priest is irrelevant, as he's supposed to be abstinent. I think what WILL change, is that the church will clarify its stance, to be one of it simply being outside of the rites of marriage in the church, but not 'deeply disordered', or anymore sinful than any other human who marries outside the church, or has sex outside of marriage. Because, contrary to what YOU say, all my years in the church, THAT has been the message, not what you spout.
Don't hold your breath, karrie. As for homosexual priests... you are correct in saying that the definition of a homosexual for the Church is one who actually practices homosexuality.. however.. the inclination to homosexuality is deemed to be a sign of a severely disordered identity and profound sexual immaturity and is inconsistent with a call to the priesthood. Since the abuse scandal prospective priests are given a battery of tests and in depth interviews to determine the authenticity of their vocation. If any deep orientation to or fascination with homosexuality is detected.. the candidate will be excluded. That's the policy.
That seems to back up what i said. Deep orientation to homosexuality.. no ordination.
To chose someone of the same sex for one's sexual activity is to annul the rich symbolism and meaning, not to mention the goals, of the Creator's sexual design. Homosexual activity is not a complementary union, able to transmit life; and so it thwarts the call to a life of that form of self-giving which the Gospel says is the essence of Christian living...
and..
As in every moral disorder, homosexual activity prevents one's own
fulfillment and happiness by acting contrary to the creative wisdom of God
This is the authoratitive document concerning homosexuality by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.. as issued by its Prefect at the time, Cardinal Josef Ratzinger.
Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons
It is quite lengthy but contains this and other characterizations of the nature and origins of homosexuality. None of which are natural or divine.. but all products of our pride and alienation from God.
3 years of chastity, show that you can be abstinent, and you're accepted to the priesthood, regardless of your inclinations prior
However, men with "deeply rooted homosexual tendencies" OR who are sexually
active cannot be ordained. No new moral teaching was contained in the
instruction: the instruction proposed by the document is rather towards
enhancing vigilance in barring homosexuals from seminaries, and
from the priesthood
As is a deep inclination to being female. A deep disinclination to honest work, however, is a plus.That's not what your document sais. It sais a deep inclination to homosexuality is inconsistent with the priesthood.

There were a few of them around my school. (Georgetown is a Jesuit university.)So is a deep inclination to engage in heterosexual behaviour.
Someone who is gay, but abstinent and likely to stay that way, is eligible for the priesthood.
Really. Hung around a lot of priests have you?

Good job the Society of Jesus doesn't take orders from an asswit like you.Georgetown and Notre Dame and a host of other 'Catholic' Universities should have given up the term 'Catholic' when they sanctioned GLBT social organizations and endorsed abortion. There are a few real Catholic higher educational institutions left.. but they tend to be small and shun all government grants.. which come with strings.
