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.

You are making fine points although it seems quite naïve to me. But I live in realville as Rush would say and the homosexual community is not likely to rush en masse into the Catholic Church unless their proclivities are made a sacrament and the rainbow flag replaces the Chalice.

Now, if one lost sheep returns to the fold, that’s great. If he’s in the pew sitting next to me, how would I even know he was a homosexual? He’s as free as me to do that. As if I would care anyway - I’ve lived among homosexuals my entire adult life.

Homosexuals who fully intend to continue their active sinning lifestyle and whose main interest is in changing the Church's position on homosex from both the outside and inside should be kept out of the Church.
