Are you saying all homosexuals cannot be Catholic, that they are excommunicated because they are homosexual?

He is a celibate gay man, and that makes him a true Catholic.

His is a difficult path and he believes in the Church and is doing his best to live by the Church.

He is not demanding to be a practicing homosexual AND Catholic. That would be oxymoronic.

His is a statement of faith in the Church and God, not in homosexuality.

He should be celebrated for his strength of faith and conviction.

I’m sorry, was that crack meant to be some kind of pejorative?

Do you really believe a person cannot be a Catholic and gay?

Do you believe a person can be homosexual, but not act on it?

Do you believe in that totally ridiculous idea that people choose to be homosexual? That is to say they are not born homosexual.

I don’t know. I’m Catholic and I’m pretty happy. Now if you’re talking about homosexual Catholics, that’s another story.
