ROME — A Colombian bishop, insisting that being homosexual is not a sin, said Thursday it’s possible that one of the twelve apostles of Jesus was gay or that Mary Magdalene, another key New Testament figure, was a lesbian.
Bishop Juan Vicente Córdoba of Fontibón, Colombia, also said the Catholic Church does not oppose same-sex couples making a life together, but does not consider such arrangements to be a marriage or a family.
“No one chooses to be gay or straight,” Córdoba said. “One simply feels, loves, experiments, is attracted, and no attraction is bad.”
Córdoba was speaking at a conference about gay marriage and adoption hosted by the local University of Los Andes, at a time when Colombia is debating gay marriage and adoption rights.
Although Córdoba reiterated Church teaching when it comes to marriage – that it’s a union between a man and a woman, permanent, and open to children – he said that homosexuality isn’t a sin.
“Sin is something else. It’s not respecting the dignity of others. Not loving God and our neighbors as we love ourselves, not feeding the hungry, not giving water to the thirsty,” Córdoba said.
He added that he prefers “a thousand times over” for Colombians to have dignity, a proper health system and food for all, rather than talking about whether they’re gay or straight.
According to local reports, Córdoba said that in the Bible there’s no explicit rejection of homosexuality, suggesting there’s no basis for making a condemnation of homosexuality a Church doctrine.
“We don’t know if one of Jesus’ disciples” had a same-sex orientation, he said. “We don’t know either if Mary Magdalene was a lesbian.”
In the New Testament, there are hints that Mary Magdalene, a....

But I suppose from the perspective of eternity it's about as enduring as a bad movie, after all.
No attraction is bad huh? Some guys like little kids and others like to get it on with corpses.
no attraction is bad///
I’ve been eyeing my cat lately.
Was there ever a queer that didn’t make the claim that every accomplished person wasn’t somehow a closet queer.
No love is bad eh? Must be a pederast.
I suspect the only gay person mentioned in the article is the Bishop himself.
It's the same old lie from the same old source.
>>“No one chooses to be gay or straight,” Córdoba said. “One simply feels, loves, experiments, is attracted, and no attraction is bad.”
No attraction is bad??? Watch your butts boys. The priests are back and they’re working with the Gaystapo now.
Rumor has it that Bishop Juan’s favorite books in the Bible are First and Second Lebesians
OK tootsieroll .... where are they (you?) on this chart, then ....
or this one
???
Y'see, Creampuff .... you don't exist with being descended FROM .... unless you CHOOSE ... and THAT only for your one, little bitty lifetime
buh bye.
I thought that lying was one of the deadly sins.
I think we’ve found the second South American pope!
Just remember that Satan attacks the clergy more fiercely than the laity.
Pray for them.
“and no attraction is bad”
Only sex pervs play down sex perversion as okay. Usually as a way to justify their own sex perversion.
Not to mention the Bible has something completely different to say about it.
Even Jimmah Cartah knows that.
And what does this "Bishop" have to say about Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Any ideas as to why that may have happened?
Hint; you don't get to "pick and choose" your scriptures.

I just looked him up. Apparently he’s a Jesuit. And not long a bishop. Appointed auxiliary bishop in 2004, and this is his first post as head bishop.

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

If Adam, Eve, & Cane were the only humans where did the people of "Nod" come from?
