Don’t forget that we are also allowed to eat reptiles and amphibians on days of abstinence!

This is true. I believe we can also eat invertebrates. I ate some mealworms in cheese at the state fair on a Friday last summer.

"The Church seeks to enable every person to live out the universal call to holiness. Persons with a homosexual inclination ought to receive every aid and encouragement to embrace this call personally and fully. This will unavoidably involve much struggle and self-mastery, for following Jesus always means following the way of the Cross… The Sacraments of the Eucharist and of Penance are essential sources of consolation and aid on this path."
** - USCCB, Ministry to Persons with a Homosexual Inclination (2006), p. 13**
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
** - Matthew 11:28-30**
I am so sorry that you have been told these things
Well, we are all broken in some way and at some times, but, the rest is hogwash.
God is a God of hope, of mercy, of forgiveness.
Please, know that I love you as my sister in Christ. I am praying for you.
Have you reached out to your Diocese about ministry to LGBTQ people?
