“Gay Catholic” ... talk about an oxymoron.

“I know this isn’t a satisfactory answer.”

On the contrary: it’s the finest example of doing what God requires, rather than what one wants, that I’ve read in years. My prayer is that this man will resist the temptation to “accept who he is” and will fight, with God’s help, to free himself from this bondage.

An inspiring message.

Steve Gershom is just yet another infiltrator into the Roman Catholic church to ‘recruit’ young teen men from us ‘breeders’.

These folks who are gay Catholics ALWAYS, somehow, end up as a youth minister.

I’ve seen it.

The cure: keep your mouth shut.

If gays weren't so downright determined that everyone around know that they are gay, maybe the backlash would not be so disturbing to them.

The world is not quite ready for 100% acceptance of the gay lifestyle, and to make a point of flaunting it in everyone's face doesn't make sense, except to a) Get Attention, or b) demand special rights.

It's also an "I dare you!" challenge so a ruckus can be started, which usually attracts reporters and TV cameras.

So, if you want to be a catholic, and gay, then just don't tell anyone that your're gay...straight people don't arrive at the church door touting that they are 'straight'!

One of the Best discussions on this subject
I've ever heard. Thank you for posting.
I've nothing but sympathy and understanding for this man.

Being an Alcoholic can be part of our fallen nature
— Drinking our self silly is wrong

Being Homosexual can be part of our fallen nature
— Men having sex with men is wrong

Our natures are corrupt and fallen
— We must surrender our natures to Christ

1. Please add me to your ping list. Thanks! And

2. The woman spoke at one of the universities in Pittsburgh during Lent. I missed her talk because I had to work, but she’s suffered much persecution at the hands of the gay mafia.

Here is someone who recognizes the truth of the Bible and believes his relationship with God is more important than his sexual urges. I wish more people, both gay and straight, had the same amount of moral clarity that this man has. I applaud him I also pray that God will deliver him from his un-Godly urges, and will allow him to find happiness and fulfillment in a heterosexual relationship. Barring that, I pray that God gives him peace and strength in his celibate lifestyle.

(Yes, it's hard to be gay and Catholic)

Actually, it's impossible to be gay and Catholic, you can be one or the other, but not both.

He is fighting the good fight, we all have different areas of life that we have more of a sin problem in than others, for many it may be business and money, for others sex, but this guy is meeting his head on, and fighting the fight.

The author has my admiration. He is apparently living a celibate life and doing so in obedience to God, and finding his happiness and his foundation in life, his relationship with God, despite the temptations of sinful desires. I would hope that he would eventually not identify as "gay" but maybe his words will help others who currently identify thusly. Interesting discussion on thread, to...

. . .making homophobia less socially acceptable. . .

Meaning "making it less socially acceptable to speak clearly what God says in His word about homosexuality".
