This story is sad, but nothing surprising.
I remember the Denver World Youth Day, back in 1993 (JPII),
and the Pope was greeted by a handsome young black youth (about 18 or 19 years old), and an attractive young lady about the same age.
The TODAY SHOW on NBC later interviewed the young man, and of course, the church’s moral teachings on abortion and homosexuality came up. And guess what? The young man, a “Catholic,” did NOT share the Church’s views on these matters.
A lot of Catholic youth have received very, very, very POOR catechesis. And/or, they simply want to be “with it” and reject the teachings of the church when it suits their fancy to do so.
We need to pray and pray hard for young Catholics, because the world’s way seems the most easy, friendly, and tolerant, hence generous (which young people like), when the reality is that the world’s views are ungodly and demonic. We need to pray for grace for our young Catholics.

I was in Denver in 1993 and I had no idea. This is the first that I have heard of it. Do you know who those people were?

Have you never read what St. Paul says in Romans 1:24-27?
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. 27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
I just don’t think that having this Idol winner perform is a good role model for Catholics.

Not to mention the Idol winner who’s performing for WYD in 2008 has the devil as his father.

I know that this is an old thread, but I went searching for WYD08 related posts, and I came up with this.
I found some of the posts to be quite disgusting and disturbing, especially the last.
Guy Sebastian, actually is a gem of a Christian. We should keep an open heart to him and pray for his conversion. I have met him on many occasions due to our paths crossing within churches and friends, and he is a spectacular talent, and his faith in Christ is very inspiring, in fact, I have sourced counsel from him in the past.
And also, people need to know that Guy Sebastian did not write this song alone, he wrote it with a very, very talented, devout and rich in faith & spirit Catholic man called Gary Pinto who has in the past, had many dealings with past WYDs.
Please reserve your judgment. This song is a beautiful one that comes from a place of great faith and commitment to Christ. Hearing it tonight before my WYD meeting was a gentle reminder of why I am wanting to make the pilgramage to Sydney for our Lord.

The Pope has nothing against it, the song doesn’t have anything to do with gays. This stuff that you fools are claiming to adhere to is also known as discrimination.
Just because he supports gay marriage, it automatically makes his Christian music which has nothing to do with gay marriage unacceptable. That is ********.
It’s a very good song and has very good Christian lyrics.
It’s acceptable.

Yea nice, this is great, WYD is all about openess and accepting people for who they are, regardless of their opinions, treating people how they should be treated, so that our actions convert them, your whole post is contrary to that.

I don’t think the good Lord intended the anal cavity to be used for sex.
Indeed.
Does you version of “reserve judgment” include calling us fundamentalists.

It’s not pastoral to confirm someone in their sin.
There’s a connection between who we are and what we do.

Really? Read the Catechism on homosexuality my good friend.Yea nice, this is great, WYD is all about openess and accepting people for who they are, regardless of their opinions, treating people how they should be treated, so that our actions convert them, your whole post is contrary to that.
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are** intrinsically disordered**."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

Quoting mindlessly just further proves your inability to comprehend.
The WYD song has NOTHING to do with homosexuality. My post was in regardance to acceptance of people for who they are, not accepting is pushing them away. The Church never states to push people away. Stay away from quoting, let alone quoting Canon Law if you can’t make a distinction. I NEVER said homosexuality should be approved. Not once, I said we have to ACCEPT people, not their acts, bring them closer to God by treating them as we do others. Don’t make me quote the Bible now to support this, I presume you know what I speak of.
I infact didn’t know Guy Sebastian supported gay marriages, so there you go, I don’t think many did either, the song has nothing to do with homosexuality. The song is for GOD and youths around the world. I’m sure the Vatican looked into this before approving it.
So unless you wish to argue with the Vatican…go find another hobby.

Way to go to miss the point.There’s a connection between who we are and what we do.
No doubt, but does this imply, ever act of Guy Sebastian has something to do with homosexuality
This is inconclusive in the context of the issue at hand

Again, this about role model and example. The Song is irrelevant.
And nor does it state that we should stand around let the whole world burn.
So because I reaffirm the Church’s teachings that makes me intolerant? ROFTL.
Need I say that Jesus said, that if someone gives scandal and causes others to sin that we are to purge them from our mist.
This is not about the song. Stop sidestepping the issue.
Your issues are not w/ me but with the Church’s teaching.
