If you aren’t sexually screwed-up, you are nothing.
Why can’t he just join the Pres-boes. They like that stuff. This man is not Catholic, regardless of his feeeeeeeelings.
God loves her/him/ it. Without question. And as any truly loving parent, He has certain expectations or at least hopes for His children. ........
What does that mean?
note the above, please.
She is a hermaphrodite - not transgendered.
One is physical, one is in your head.
But I am interested, does anyone know whether hermaphrodites are genetically male or female? How does this work?
The gerbilist who spewed out the title has no vocabulary.
This isn’t a transsexual. And since she isn’t a word she obviously isn’t a transgendered either.
This is merely someone with an intersex condition who had corrective surgery.
No Christian could ever advocate that God hates any person created in His image and likeness. That was never the point. God does have certain expectations for His family, though, and He said that homosexual perversion is an abomination. We don't hate the sinner--we are all sinners--but we are supposed to recognize sin for what it is.
“The love between homosexuals is as strong as that between heterosexuals. Thus, if you don’t acknowledge that love, and you are of the religion of love, you seem hypocritical.”
You say this based on what experience? Exactly... you don't have any. There is one VERY important element missing in the love between homosexuals... procreation. The love shared between man and woman begets a life of its own in their children. No matter how much they hurt each other and even try to leave each other behind, they will always be tied by their children. There is no equivalent in any other relationship.
In fact, it is also true that we don't truly take on God's image and likeness until we are joined in marriage. Genesis tells us that we are created in God's image and likeness and yet we are only created male and female. God is a holy Trinity of three persons. A human perspective on the Trinity shows a family where two people share a love so perfect, that Love Itself has an identity in the Holy Spirit. Just so in "traditional" (true) marriage... the love between man and woman is so real that 9 months later you give it a name and raise it to a life of its own.
Another liberal apostate trying to deceive the faithful about God’s word.
The Catholic church needs to expel her for that...I am not a Catholic but if they allow these apostates in it will corrupt the whole church eventually
It’s hardly news that God loves sinners.
I admit to being a typical FReeper and not reading the entire article lol! If she’s a hermaphrodite then this is very different. The author obviously has an agenda and is trying to make it look like the Church is embracing something that it is truly not.
Well, you were born a hermaphrodite.
Not much explaining to do here. You chose which gender you were most aligned with.
I’m okay with it...
“The love between homosexuals is as strong as that between heterosexuals.”
Damn, where to start! First of all WHAT is the definition of ‘love’ here? Second, The basis of homosexuality is a deviant lust for your own sex. It is the defining element of your life rather than merely a facet of it. Third, “strong”? How is this quantified and defined. The impulse acting on any of the great variety of perverts is massive and eventually becomes all consuming.

Pesando said she falls somewhere in the middle. “As for me, in terms of transitioning, I didn’t actually have much to do. I haven’t gone under the knife because I don’t really need to,” Pesando said, explaining that neither of her reproductive organs is functional. “I have, so far as I know, always been sort of asexual in the sense of reproduction. Pesando’s spiritual beliefs started at a young age and when she was a 17, she considered becoming a priest. However, deep down she knew — even if she didn’t understand it for another 13 years — something about that choice just didn’t feel right.
Consecrated by whom?
Fake story since no one is listed.
Apparently sometimes you have to twist the story to fit the headline you are determined to write.
I’m surprised she didn’t want to become the next Pope. I guess there is still time for her/him to change her/his mind.
This person needs to learn the difference between “eros” and “agape” love. Her focus is exclusively on “eros”, a word which never appears in the bible.
