...”Gays have some weird obsession with the catholic church”...
Well for centuries they could practice and find protection in the catholic church so of course it’s a safe haven for them. Now the church has “accepted” homosexuals simply asking them not to practice their sexual relations.......the next step will be to allow Priests to marry...thus homosexuals will also...just a patter of time.
I didn't say "fondness", I said "obsession". They mock it continuously. They have disdain for Christianity in general but the Catholic church gets the bulk of their mockery. Think drag queens in nun habits, for example. That's not a sign of any sort of fondness or recognition that somehow the Catholic church has a special place in the gay community's hearts.
I never understood it because the Catholic church has never in my lifetime made an issue of homosexuality. I say this after 12 years of catholic education and decades of church going. Never have I heard the word "homosexual" or "gay" in any official catholic context until now. They never condemn it, they never discuss it in homilies, they don't teach about it as a sin in catholic education, it's like it simply doesn't exist in official Catholicism. Maybe that's intentional, sweep it under a rug lest they have to confront their own dirty laundry. Nevertheless, it's 100% not an issue in catholic teaching.
So why are the gays so damned obsessed with it? If they need a symbol to mock there are other denominations that actually are opposed to homosexuality. But they pick on catholics.
