Thank you. I am same sex attracted. I believe people like me are called to lifelong celibacy.Homosexuality is a difficult reality for Christians to consider. Here's a Christian approach that works:
Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. It psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity (Cf. Genesis 19:1-29; Romans 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:10), tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, 8). They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them their inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
And a celibate homosexual is, like a celibate single heterosexual, doing what God expects of him or her. Well done and may God's grace be with you.Thank you. I am same sex attracted. I believe people like me are called to lifelong celibacy.
Sexual attractions can change over time. For whatever reason it is owed that if a person is not attracted to the opposite sex, it only takes the right combination of events to open their eyes to see them with the love that God has intended.Seems unfair to me. Only gays called to lifetime celibacy .
Interesting. For example?? The anti Christ dogma I mean mainly .psychology, in particular, is decidedly un-scientific and filled with decidedly anti-Christ dogma.
