2346 Charity is the form of all the virtues. Under its influence, chastity appears as a school of the gift of the person. Self-mastery is ordered to the gift of self. Chastity leads him who practices it to become a witness to his neighbor of God's fidelity and loving kindness.
Chastity leads him who practices it to become a witness to his neighbor of God's fidelity and loving kindness! Wow!
Somehow this means, to you, that the Church approves of people living a homosexual lifestyle. Though the call to chastity leads one to be a witness of God's fidelity and kindness. Somehow, you think that a gay lifestyle is a good witness, according to the Catholics, anyway.
Are you ready to apologize for your gross mischaracterization?

Gross mischaracterizations - no. Just a flatfooted dealing with the answer you gave. I wasn't aware that another lessen in Catholic terminology was going to be required in order to understand the Official statement. You almost have to be a lawyer to follow it, don't you. Find peice a, connect it with peice b, etc, and eventually, it says what you want. Seems to me - as it always has - there is something intrinsically disordered about that. Especially when I can go to scripture and pull four passages out (not single verses) that spell it out plainly. It's plain enough to your side that your own people were telling me that homosexuality isn't a sin and is not called a sin in the Bible. Now, Given the official position and the mass exodus to attack what I quoted from scripture.. care to comment on how you guys can believe and speak plainly opposite of what you say is the official position?
