I did not need to know this

LOL Disappointed is not the word!

Who are you to decide who’s feelings are valid and whose arent?

I’m a guy on a forum where someone has posted public comments about her gay grandson expecting people to respond.

I’ll be sure to check with you to see which parties feelings I should consider when next I post.

Maybe you should

She ain’t the one needing sympathy.

Ain’t that the truth.

I bet it’s more probable that he very much wants to be involved with his family and that he is looking for his family’s support.

So sorry for what your family is going through. Keep him in your prayers, love him as you always have. Hopefully the Holy Spirit will work in him and bring him to repentance.

I rarely think about homosexuals. They’re not relevant to my life and I have no homosexual friends - although I have several acquaintances.

I’m not terribly surprised. It’s quite easy to talk like you do and dehumanize people when the person is not your child, your grandchild, your next-door neighbor, your childhood best friend, the guy or girl at the next desk at your work.

I’ve never dehumanised anybody; I never have and I never will.

I refuse to identify somebody on the basis of their sinful inclination. And I refuse to say that sinful, unnatural acts are not disgusting. I hate the sin but I love the sinner. I want all homosexuals to follow the will of God: they must take up their crosses and live celibately. If they reject this plan, they risk losing their souls. That it is a terrifying possibility.

As others have said, why is it always about sex?

I’m committed to church teaching (even if I fail, often).

Why is what always about sex? Sin? It’s not, but many times it is.

I would reach out to him. He is still your grandson. God welcomes everyone with open arms. He loves everyone. Reach in your heart and show your grandson you love him. Yes, you may not agree with his actions. But knowing that you love him may impact his life and make him more open to you and he may come to respect your beliefs after some time.

The best times with him were when he was a child and we used to go to the zoo and other things. I will always treasure the times we spent together when he was small.

The prayers of a grandmother are very powerful. Don’t condemn him, but rather, pray for him, and he will be bombarded with God’s grace tugging on him to convert to Christ before his death. Slavery to sin has a cruel master, so keep him in prayers and supplications and offer up mortifications; the fruit of your love and sacrifice for him will be him finding Christ and hating sin. The whole point of being Catholic is to be Eucharistic vessels of reparation for the conversion of sinners; so tap into all the weapons to fight the spiritual enemies of the soul who take our brethren prisoners and drag them away from God.
