Homosexuality isn’t normal, but homosexuals are God’s children like everyone else and I don’t have a problem with them. It is not a sin to be a homosexual.
** However homosexual acts are wrong.**
Homosexuals are actually lucky because they have a very personal struggle they can offer up to Christ and grow with his help.
If you’re looking for Catholics who will say homosexuals are going to Hell simply for being homosexual, you’re not going to find it.
You’re going to find people who agree with the Church and I think I have summed up the teaching above (if anything is wrong guys, correct me please).
This is from a convert. I used to think there was nothing wrong about homosexual acts, but THERE IS.
I’d like to know how you reconcile the infallible teaching of the Church with your view.

Hey, what other people do in their bedrooms in their spare time doesnt influence me in the tiniest bit. Besides, its better if they know and accept the way they are instead of being stuck in turnoil or denial.

You think it doesn’t affect you but in a subtle way it does. As for being stuck in turmoil or denial, that doesn’t have to happen either, they can live a chaste life.
Chistus Rex:
Now, Christus Rex has the teaching down pretty well here.
Let us look at this in a different light, the Catholic Church teaches that sex outside of marriage is a sin, one of the important aspects of marriage is pro-creation, homosexuals can not pro-create so, they can not get married therefore every act is outside of marriage!
My daughter has many homosexual friends (goes with the territory of being a good actress as well as great costume designer etc.) They are all welcome in my home and if they bring up their, umm, sexual exploits or desires to be able to be “legally married” I will tell them what I have said here.
Part of the problem is how our society has said that we must always be happy and never have burdens in our lives. Society says that “if it feels good and I do it in the privacy of my bedroom” then anything goes (what about pedophiles, ephebophiles etc?)
A homosexual person can live a chaste life just like a person who is single. There is no need to have sex in your life if you are not married!

Homosexual acts are gravely sinful and homosexual attractions are objectively disorded, although not considered sin. That’s what I think of homosexuality.

:nope: “To each his own.” = relativism = an evil undermining of the entire Catholic Faith…but relativism is for another thread.

This post is an overreaction.
Intent is being imposed when such intent isn’t truly apparent.

Whammy, are you a Catholic?
Do you know, and understand, what the church teaches about homosexual acts?
Do you conform your will to that of Christ or do you reject Christ and his Church?
The Catholic Church rightly teaches that all sex acts that are not ordered to the procreation of children together with spousal bonding are gravely disordered and never morally acceptable. This includes homosexual acts. They are disordered.

On the contrary, I simply don’t impose Catholic teaching on noncatholics. Now if they were to join the Churhc they must follow the rules.

That homosexuality is wrong is not unique to Catholicism. What is undeniably being imposed (at leat attempted) is the universal acceptence of homosexual acts.

What about atheists? Personally I believe that SSA is unavoidable in many who develop it. But behavior can always be modified to be heterosexual or celibate.

What about them? That is, I’m sure that there are atheists that can discern the wrongness of homosexuality using non-theistic arguments.
I don’t know and Church teaching doesn’t speculate on the whys:
Even if one could show that SSA was completely unavaoidable (a genetic disposition for instance) the truth about the wrongness of homosexual acts would be unchanged.
Or to put it plainly, no one is forced by genetics, upbringing or whatever one ascribes SSA to, to engage in a homosexual act.

I only know that with myself SSA has always been there, meaning an admiration for certain males. Yet I’ve only desired heterosexual relationships.
