The important thing is that you realize that, as you posted, jading the conversation by stating “gay catholic” and the like implies much and to understand that you have a parishoner struggling, as we all struggle, yet struggling more publically speaks volumes of understanding rather than labeling someone this or that…

The days of the Protestant Scarlet Letter should be gone, never to return…

I want you to know that I DO see my own framing as jading the conversation as you state, Coptic. And even though you prefer the Canadian pronouncement to that of the US Council, the US Council is still in agreement with you about the problem with my choice of words in framing this topic. I truly thank you for all of the advice that you have given me, and I am truly humbled by the interest you have given to my small topic.

As this topic reaches the “sell by” date, I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond. In this busy world where it is easier and easier to just move on by, this community has taken the time to respond from the heart and from faith. This has meant a great deal to me, and I hope to move from trial membership to regular member some day.

It would be hurtful to a wife. I wouldn’t want to be married to someone not sexually attracted to me.

I have no idea to what or whom you are addressing these comments, I see nothing in my postings that mentions marriage.
