Milo is an enigma to me.

Many times I read about him, I can't but think that though he is gay and admits as much, it is something he earnestly struggles with. It is a temptation and he knows he succumbs to it, but he also know it is wrong. I suppose the same could be said of any person who believes in God but contends with temptation and often yields to it. Alcohol, pornography, gambling, drugs... I don't know what the homosexual temptation is like, but I believe it exists. Just as I know alcoholism exists but Lord willing I'll never know that temptation.

Maybe it's not so much perfectly abstaining from the temptation that's important as it is admitting weakness and asking God for the grace to overcome it. In His time, He does. I like to think Milo is such a person. We'll never know on this side of the veil, but I've little doubt that there will be many in Heaven who will surprise us... and be even more surprised at who is NOT there.

Unless he confesses his sins, asks for forgiveness, and turns away from his sinful behavior, God will play the part of the joyful father in his parable The Prodigal Son.

Milo is smart but too young to know his self-destructive bent.

Eventually his strong intelligence will overcome his feelings. He may become the first high-profile homo to reject his homo ways.

Ah yes, you had to drag Milo in, just because. Sigh

We all get it PP, you detest him, now can you just try to stop talking about him?!

And Francy, you make me ashamed, failure barely scratches the surface.
