DO MORE THAN JUST POST
it isn’t enough to just “preach truth”.
-
after all…
-
why would any person care to hear the truths of the Gospel
if they don’t foremost know we care about them?
-
the Church’s heart for people,
including for our brothers and sisters in the LGBT+ community,
reaches so much deeper than that.
-
even our Lord didn’t approach people by immediately commanding them to “go and sin no more”.
-
rather,
He intentionally invested in the personhood of each person He came across
before investing in their sin.
-
therefore,
when it comes to our neighbor who has an LGBT+ experience,
-
we must be willing to receive each other
and walk alongside one another.
-
step off the pulpit.
sit at the table.
-
heartfelt friendship is our st...

    On June 1st, Scott Hahn posted a meme on his Facebook page of a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus surrounded by the phrase, "Reclaim the Month." My comment to this was, "There is nothing that needs to be reclaimed. The Kingdom of God is not in competition with the kingdom of this world." God bless you on your journey.

    When you say experience same sex attractions what does that mean I’m curious ? I don’t have a background of SSA but have family members who do including my brother. Just curious to know. And for myself someone who battles with OCD and intrusive thoughts etc and anxiety and certain physical sensations when around men does confuse me a lot.. again I’d like to know what SSA experiences are..

    Good words! Thank you for sharing your story. I commend you for putting Jesus first and wanting what He wants for you, which is so much bigger and better than what we make for, or of ourselves and is for eternity, unlike the things of the flesh, which are temporal. Things may end up looking quite different than we could imagine, or had hoped, but let His Word be above us and guide us. We are all a work in progress. I don't have same-sex attraction, but have had my own struggles as do we all.

    What about those SSA Christians who have desire to be in a committed relationship? What if their desire is to not live life alone and in other words not pursue chastity? But still love God and Jesus n want to be in ministry? Does it mean they haven’t experienced Jesus fully because if they have they wud have chosen the path of chastity? Can they pursue and act on their SSA, be in committed relationship and still love Jesus and think to themselves “my decision to live as a gay man (or woman) and pursue n act on my desires does not define me… im still beloved child of God eventho I do not choose the path of chastity. And i will still go to heaven eventho I act on my SSA n love Jesus at the same time”. Is chastity the end game, is it the calling for SSA Christians who really want to please God n follow Jesus to carry the cross?? What about those who want to follow Jesus but dont wanna carry this cross of chastity? OR… is it possible to be in a committed relationship because they don’t wanna live life alone BUT committed to the path of chastity at the same time? So just purely emotional connection but no physical act? Kinda like buddies for life without the physical part - is this OK u think? Thanks! Im just curious whats the answer to these questions

    This means a lot to me. I'm gay and marginally Catholic, but I'd like the latter to matter more than the former in my life. Now it's complicated because I'm married to a guy, and I feel like breaking up with him would make the situation worse.

    I have told my children that some of the most courageous people in modern Society are same sex attracted people who are living a chaste life! This is because that in spite of the modern world telling you to give in to your urges you are striving to follow Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life! God bless you!

    This young man is spot on regarding Fr. James Martin S.J. I went to a talk given by him in 2015 at Old St. Joseph Catholic Church in Philadelphia PA. Martin obfuscated the truth regarding the sin of acting out in same sex relationships, and named Cardinals Cupich, Farrell and Tobin as ' gay ' friendly bishops. All three of these men have been implicated in covering up for ex Cardinal Mc Carrick. Cardinal Farrell used to live in the same rectory as Mc Carrick. When he was made the Bishop of Dallas, he used part of McCarrick's Episcopal coat of arms in his own coat of arms. This indicates how chummy he was with Mc Carrick!

    Por propia experiencia confirmo que lo que habéis dicho es verdad. Ojalá la Iglesia tomara en cuenta este asunto desde esta perpectiva, que es la correcta, en vez de darle oídos y voz a los lobbies y a sus promotores en la Iglesia como James Martin . Espero que algún día resplandezca la verdad con toda su nitidez y desaparezcan las ambigüedades actuales. Es mejor ser perseguidos por algo justo que alabados por transmitir mentiras que destruyen a las personas. Muchas gracias por este valiente video.
