And you would deny this man his dying wish?

Compassion takes on limitless shapes and forms. Sometimes it appears as pure idiocy. Live with it. There are a lot worse ways to die than in a state of Virginity.

Luckily that is one worry , thanks to the opposite sex, that none of us will have.

Any sex I have experienced in this life has brought me closer to the devine.So I get a laugh out of those of you who judge these people.

The fact is that the woman was in love with the idea of helping this man, if she was not indeed in love with him herself and never knew it.

Absolutely. It was immoral. And Catholic clergy/nun had no freaking business being involved.

You would prefer that they subject him to pompous sanctimony in his dying years?

They should have gotten in touch with Operation Take One For The Country and see if they would expand their group's charter to encompass this kind of work...........

Sorry. Your Mileage May Vary. It's usually used as a way to disagree with what someone has said, but acknowledge that both they have a right to say it, and that it may be true to them based on their background and experiences.

To: do the dhue; All

The fact is, this young man's disease and the disability it has caused him is tragic, and while I can understand the carnal desire of the flesh (because I'm human too, just like we all are), what this young man chose to do is (or should have been) between him, whoever chose to engage in any sexual act(s) with him, and his God, however he perceives Him.

I think it would have been far better for everyone to have kept this a private matter, there is enough sexual excess trumpeted in the media every hour on the hour without putting this young man's situation on display. Even if he wanted to talk about it, a wiser newspaper editor would have said 'Son, I'm glad for you that you won't die a virgin, but consider keeping the story of this to yourself, not out of shame, but out of respect for yourself, your parents, your family and friends, and for others in your position who might not make the same decision you made'.

Will God forgive him?

Of course He will, the Forgiveness of Christ is universal for all who come to Him, confess Him as Lord, and turn their lives over to Him. As has already been posted in this thread, Jesus forgave prostitutes, tax collectors, thieves, every sort of failed human who came to Him, but the critical part of His Forgiveness was that He would always say 'Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more'.

I hope this young man will pay as ardent attention to his spiritual state as he has to his physical desires, which have now at least been met *once*.

God be with him.

Don't mistake feelings for closeness to the divine

I may be wrong because I am just a common man but here goes:

I think closeness to God comes when we feed the spirit and deny the flesh. I feel closer to God when I do this anyway. I may be wrong, but I think the clergy should preach this and practice it.

Closeness to God is when I find peace in chaos. Closeness to God is when love fills my heart instead of lust. Closeness to God comes from doing what is right in His name. I have made a million mistakes in my life. A lot of times my failures have brought me closer to God too.

The nun should have just taken care of the problem herself and saved the guy some money.

Yeah, right. If I'm going out with a bang, the chick better be some skin mag model.
