There are alcoholic, drug-abusing, adulterous, bigoted, kleptomaniac and prideful sinners who are Catholic, why not homosexual? Sin is sin.

I used to avoid churches because I thought they were filled with arrogant, sanctimonious, hypocritical sinners.

Then it occurred to me that I fit right in with that crowd.

Well, funny thing, you are right! Sin is sin, repentance is repentance, conversion is conversion.

Tagline.

I've always heard that church is a hospital for the sinner, not a club for the perfected.

Trouble is that too many sinners have political correctness on their side and would rather drag the church down with them than take advantage of the hospital treatments offered.

Animalistic urges are not a sin. ACTING on those urges is. I’m a happily married, committed married woman. But my body still has responses to other men. I chose not to act on those impulses. In heart, body, and soul - I am committed to my husband.

She’s chosen to remain celibate and to embrace friendship and the spiritual love of her fellow human beings in place of sex.

She acknowledges that marriage is sacred. The embrace of ‘the other’ and special. For opposites. Not for gays.

I’m struggling to see anything wrong with what she is saying here.
