My fellow catholics…

Once again, I come on here for some spiritual support. Now i’m sure many here remember my last post “IM TIRED OF THE WHOLE GAY PRIESTS ARE EVIL STUFF!!!”. Well since then I have been trying to accept the fact that I cannot become a priest. But since then, I have found myself in a real dry spot, and this has been the longest one I have ever felt. I feel like this is keeping me from nurturing my relationship with God, and I have recently felt like giving up. This issue bothers me because it effects me directly. I have even thought about leaving the faith (Something I thought I would never consider). I don’t know where to go from here, oh and for thise wondering, I guess if I acted on my feelings, you could camme me bisexual, but my orientation doesn’t define who I am. Please, comments, encouragement, anything, anything please…

In case anyone ever wondered what i look like, click on my website.

I’m sorry that you are hurting. I don’t think the Catholic doctrine says you are evil. I hope not, since I am bisexual. I won’t ever act on it again, even when I feel attraction to a woman. Of course, that is easier for me, since I have a stronger attraction to men, then it sounds like it is for you. Are there support groups for men and women in your situation? It seems to me that there ought to be, because you aren’t alone in your struggle.

You will be in my prayers tonight.
 
OK… I don’t know your previous posts or the entirety of your plight, but at risk of repeating the suggestion of others, try www.couragerc.org.

On the other hand - most of us have sexual impulses, and many of us have them in ways that are not productive toward chastity. It is a cross, but with every cross, God is ready and willing to give the grace to overcome. For one person I know, it came by just appearing before the blessed sacrament daily. For another person i know, they realized their struggles are GREAT gifts to offer to the Lord - especially in a day where we are constantly zapped by sexuality. Heck, even ABC “FAMILY” has commercials that reference sex… its appalling how blatent the challenges are. Turn off the TV, turn off the radio, lock off the “tempting” websites - or use the computer only in public — read the lives of the Saints…spend at least 10 minutes in prayer in the morning - every day ---- its a daily conversion.

I once heard Dennis Miller quip regarding born-agains - “Can one be born again, and again, and again?” Well, in fact, one must be born again - daily! So as I found in my own struggles, and you may need to in yours, be born again every day!
 
Roman Ryan -

Have you heard of Courage?

couragerc.net/index.html

There’s chapters in Texas, hopefully near your home.

Please don’t give up on your struggle. Your cross is one of the toughest to bear, but as you know God loves and cherishes you. He will give you the grace to get through it if you let Him.
 
Roman Ryan,
Do not lose faith and hope. Sometimes we are challenged with dry spells, but eventually they will end. Even the saints experienced these dry spells, some for several years. If you continue to pray and have faith, God will not abandon you in your time of need. He loves you, and if you truely love him and live for him, He will never let you lose your soul. I will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Matt
 
Don’t give up! Pray. You are at an age where you really don’t know who you are. You have allot of discovery’s about yourself to make. Who knows what the future holds for you. I see on your web page you may want to get married one day. I wonder if your discovery of being bi-sexual is a change in sexual orientation. Who knows maybe you will find yourself more and more attracted to females. God may be moving in your life without you even realizing it. Ryan at 16 your life is just beginning. I envy you in the fact that your faith is as it is, and being Catholic. It took me 45 years to discover the church and the “real” Christ. Resist the temptations that the devil throws at you in the guise of sexual freedoms. Hormones are physical be more concerned with your spiritual side. Let Christ take your cross, let him help you. Remember he never gives up on you it is you who gives up on him. Just because you can’t be a priest doesn’t mean your spiritual journey has to end. I pray for you in your dry spell, I pray that you will pick up your rosary and pray even harder for the spell to end. Hang in there!

May the Holy Spirit bring to you the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May he bring to you wisdom beyond your years.
In Love, Mike
 
You are NOT evil if you have a bisexual or homosexual or heterosexual ORIENTATION.

Do NOT confuse your ORIENTATION with the ACT.

Homosexual acts are intrinsically evil. Yes. But homosexuals are not intrinsically evil - in fact, many do NOT practice the lifestyle and live holy lives.

DO NOT CONFUSE YOURSELF WITH THE ORIENTATION. The GLBT (gay, lesbian, transgendered) agenda will do that to push evi. Don’t fall for it.
 
Dear Ryan,

I will offer my next Mass intention for you. If you ever need to talk feel free to e-mail any of us. Hold on. God is Good.

Terri
 
Peace, Ryan.
You are not evil. Resist the temptation to reduce your identity to a sexual act. You are a man of God with all the dignity of one created in His image.
Yes, call on the Courage group.

Peace and all good.

…you do have a value… you are a brother in Christ… we are your family, and we will be less for your leaving… i hope you have a change of heart, and mind…
…that being said, I wish you peace and understanding, i wish you an answer to your dreams and prayers, but most of all I wish you the calm that you will only find in God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost…
…look over your shoulder once in a while, you will never be truly alone… there may be a Space Ghost watching over you from time to time… so smile my friend… people to care…

I like your website and your posts on this forum are very good.

We are not suppose to give personal advice on this forum, and I think that you don’t need any. You are way above average, normal, and seem very much okay to me.
