Actually, it's impossible to be gay and Catholic, you can be one or the other, but not both.
My parents are happy Catholics.
On a serious note, I prefer the title “A Catholic who has homosexual tendencies”, but would not have been as gripping a headline.
Respectfully, dfwgator, gay is a misused word, especially by the pro-homosexual crowd. He’d have been more accurate to have called himself a Catholic suffering from same-sex attraction. It’s good to read things such as this thread, though. He is, at this point, doing the right thing. And we are, as a fellow freeper said recently, to love the sinner and hate the sin. If this man suffers from same-sex attraction, and maintains celibacy, that is entirely different from him indulging is homosexual acts. I find it commendable for him to fight these urges, and to bear his cross.
