    I am not sure How recent this statement is. There seems an inconsistency in saying the Church welcomes and respect gays and bans them from church.
    The catholic Church has always had a lot of members who were homosexual in orientation. There is nothing wrong with this. What it has ban is sexual relations outside marriage. This would includes gay but also most heterosexuals. It does not ban people that do these things but claim they are sins that need repentance.

    It is obvious by the pedophilia revelations that this also applies to clergy. Most relationships have been with boys.
    These are wrong but not because that are homosexual. The catholic Church will never approve openly gay weddings but will continue to welcome gays to is services

    Most of them were in the SA, though, and Hitler had a lot of them shot in the Roehm (sp?) purge.

    If a gay man trusts in Christ he is saved. A gay man who trusts in Christ would automatically struggle with his sin. If this gay man stumbles and continues in his illicit practices then his salvation is not in question. Just as an adulterous Christian's salvation is not in question. Internally the gay man who has trusted in Christ will be in conflict. This is a sign of his salvation. The rest is nothing to do with us. If we see John the gay Christian stumble and pick up Fred in a nightclub then we cannot know of the conflict within this Christians heart.Remember, jesus said we would be surprised at who we see in heaven.
    So, I do not think that a "gay christian" is possible, rather I feel that a "christian who struggles with homosexual tendencies" is truly a Christian.

    Ahh but that would require christ to have existed

    The bible says that two men lying together is an abomination and they should be killed

    I think that us a fair summary of the loving compassionate mythology called Christianity

    But then god did make the world knowing his crappy method would mean he would have to have a son who would need to be brutally murdered for some bizarre reason

    By the way when god didn't have a son was it just the holy binity?

    You know, god the childless, god the holy spirit

    And what is different about each of those?

    I reckon god likes a bit of gay love with all those male angels he created for what?

    He can't need them as he is omnipotent so it must be to have gay sex with them

    Liberals say: "We love gay people! Gay people are awesome! Being gay is awesome! Gay marriage is awesome! Gay cartoon characters are awesome! And if you don't agree with us we'll punish you by telling everyone that you're gay!"

    Funny, I've never heard a liberal or anyone else say that. Just what sort of people do you hang out with, anyway?

    The pope is against gay marriage because he doesn't want his priests to all get married to each other

    He needs a few for himself

    Inasmuch as you seem to have no morals, you can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards of their religion/politics that you simply renounce..Deploying your usual fallacy of composition, you think that because you have a constitutional right to say stupid things, the stupid things you say must have merit...Yes, you are constitutionally entitled to be stupid. You are, after all, a Liberal. But your wrong most of the time and everyone knows it including YOU.
