Repenting means being forgiven and then going about the rest of your life having done penance and not revisiting the past occasion of sin.
Having received absolution from God through the confessor does not mean that there is not still some atonement due for a grievous sin.

You make my point. I believe the majority of homosexuals are repeat offenders in their thoughts, otherwise they wouldn’t be homosexuals. Their thinking is how they are attracted to the same sex, which is why so many of them were naturally attracted to the Catholic Church priesthood in the first place, IMHO. They get a twofer, they are surrounded by their own sex, and they get a shot at altar boys to boot. Winning, as Charlie Sheen would say.
