I have read Fr Martin's book Building A Bridge: Q 1: why need for gay community?

When I read it in the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, then I’ll attach significance to it, vis-a-vis human sexual relationships. Which, by the way, God has decreed are only for male + female “pair bonds.”
 
Wow, you must have a hard time working with a lot of science or other things with jargon.

Not an opinion. An established teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. These are the Catholic Answers Forums.

I already said it was what they taught. Objective is a view that is free of personal bias; given the Church believes homosexuality is sinful they can’t be free of bias.

Mate, homosexuality in and of itself is NOT a sin, the practice of it however is very much THE sin.
I was sleeping with someone else’s wife for years, and many other women. This was a sin… My lustful inclinations is my Cross, been battling with this for so long. Now, your Cross is your inclinations towards the homosexual “practice”. God cannot judge you for how He created you. But He can judge how you play the cards you are dealt with in life, and we are in no position to criticize the Creator. (Rom 9:20) We all have a Cross to shoulder. Assuming He does not exist or His Law was man-made will not change the reality of it. Either is out there or He is not, there is no mid-ground. If He is not, well then there’s nothing to worry about clearly. But if He is, though… then that means every single precept is valid and legitimately enforced by His Divine Power and Wisdom. And that’s the ultimate choice you have to make and deal with its consequences accordingly.

I am one of those who came back to the Lord. I pray that you will, too, some day. Actually i am hopeful for you, surely you’re roaming around here for a reason.

I know quite well what pair bond means, sweetie. I just don’t apply it to human beings the way you do,
 
In your last post you literally declared that God created certain pair bonds in humans 😝
 
For someone who has renounced the Catholic Church, you sure spend an awful lot of time on these here Catholic Forums.
I’m not suggesting you should leave, but–you seem to have an awful hard time letting go. Very conflicted, yes?
 
Sorry, haven’t read that far, i guess… In any case, hope somebody else in need reads it. I get frustrated with people who attack gays for their God-given nature. There are toddlers and even animals that show homosexual tendencies for crying out loud. Anyway, the main point of my post still hits you, too, just drop the sexual content as necessary lol

I used the term in quotes. Indicating how absurd a term it is. But, feel free to keep pushing it. I’m afraid, though, that like the word “fetch” in Mean Girls, “pair bond” is soooo not happening, Gretchen!

Nope, I just have fun discussing.

So, arguing with people about what they believe is enjoyable to you. There is a word for that. In any case, your whole line of reasoning is askew from this topic, of dealing with the gay community, that is building a bridge between them and the rest of the Church. That must be done with Catholic teaching as a given, or else it is not a bridge. Asking for proof (a word you should not be using in this context, being a teacher) or bringing in birth control, is irrelevant. Catholic doctrine is the given, the “side of the bridge.”
