Who is keeping homosexuals out of the pews? Why do they need to be invited? Nobody invited me to attend Mass.

Think of the image that they have of the Church, especially if they travel in homosexual/liberal circles.

I suggest you re-read many of the posts regarding the relatio. You will find many, many, posts which either explicitly or implicitly, indicate homosexuals should be kept out of the church.

In my experience, there have been homosexuals who left the Church or didn’t enter because they believed the Church taught they were “bad” people. When asked why they believed that, they mentioned the way they were treated by parishioners. They also mentioned what they had read, and what was emphasized when they saw Church leaders on TV. Of course, none of that squares with the Catechism.

Homosexuality is intrinsically disordered. However, homosexual people are children of God.

Be glad you are one of the 99, because the lost sheep is likely hurting, and very alone without Christ and His Church.
