Or, this is some kind of outreach to homosexuals, to let them know they are loved by the Church and the Church encourages them to embrace the cross given to them. Embrace the cross by denying the disordered desire of homosexuality. Remember (or realize if you weren't aware) homosexual tendencies aren't a sin, only when acted upon do they become a sin. Just like any temptation.
Now I don't know what the case is here, even though I live in Baltimore. This is not my parish. I think I know where it is, so I may stop by one of these nights and report on my findings.
I also have a friend who went to this parish and thus may have some insights here. This friend is not a homosexual. He most certainly is not a "liberal" Catholic either. He has told me that this parish was instrumental in his conversion to Catholicism.
So this shocks me to be honest. Again, I'm going to look into it as much as possible and will share any findings. It does appear, to be fair to the critics around here, that this is some kind of "gay pride" thing with no real ministry or help for homosexuals. But we can't be sure until some actual investigation is done.
So I guess that falls on me. Pray for me in this search; pray that I find the truth.
HMMMmmm...
Change one word to...
...this is some kind of outreach to thieves, to let them know they are loved by the Church and the Church encourages them to embrace the cross given to them.
Proverbs 6:30
Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
I wonder if there is a similar verse saying...
Men do not despise a fella when he's horny, if he finds an outlet to satisfy his soul self when he is lonely...
