You can say we are all sinners who have “gifts” but we are supposed to attempt to refrain from sin as opposed to getting the Church to accept our sin.

My children have a homosexual uncle. How should he be treated? It depends a lot on the circumstances, doesn't it?

This is a pastoral synod. The bishops are discussing issues like this, hard issues where the rubber meets the road.

I believe that Cardinal Muller was wrong in asking that the statements of the individual bishops be made open to the public, because the statements simply become fodder for the media and other ignorant propagandists.

The Catholic church has always said they understand some people have homosexual leanings but the sin was acting on it. That is nothing new.
