"The guidelines condemn discrimination against gays and say it's not a sin to be attracted to someone of the same sex — only to act on those feelings."
So if I understand this correctly, if a male Catholic is "attracted" to a female, it is a sin regardless of whether he acts on it or not (LUST). But, if a male Catholic is "attracted" (presumably in the same carnal manner) to a male, he must act on it for it to be a sin?
Guess I would need to be a Bishop to understand this.
Probably the same percentage as guys named Joe with brains the size of a pea.
I will take the Bishop's interpretation of Scripture over yours, thanks. they would appear to be a little more knowledgeable about the subject.
What isn't there to understand attration does not equal lust.
And just how many of those "very good men" covered up for the buggerers?
Ha Ha you're so funny . And it seems a little defensive there pal. You sound like a catholic in their little cult of denial.
Did you read it for yourself. Many of your church don't read the Bible. They let the Bishops do the work. In the last days the church will not be a good guide. Pick up the Bible and read for yourself.
