If what you are saying is you intend to engage in sodomy I pray for you. You are not free.

Truth is, if the man believes he is attracted to men, he has no business in the priesthood. He won't be an alter-Christus

@Vendee - True. You had me laugh out loud! I pictured him reading the Catechism and saying, hey look at that. I’m not even watching this video, these homos, leaches on our great Church, are so bold now. False Father Martin is repulsive.

Won’t give the satisfaction of watching him promote the devil’s agenda. God have mercy on him and awaken him to the truth.

To be homosexual is like somebody has other type of disease e.g. alzheimer, ADHD, autism etc.
It'll be better for you to stay lay person instead of to be a Jesuit...It is like to send an alcoholic to the bar.

I would like to ask "J"a couple of questions.
1. Why do you speak of your sexul orientation anyway? I am a religious and I have never felt the need to tell anyone mine (I am hetero by the way)?
2. What does "freedom" means to you? Does it mean that you think that you may "live out" your sexuality, or do you think true freedom is living a life of self-control, a chaste life?

I would like to ask "J"a couple of questions.
1. Why do you speak of your sexul orientation anyway? I am a religious and I have never felt the need to tell anyone mine (I am hetero by the way)?
2. What does "freedom" means to you? Does it mean that you think that you may "live out" your sexuality, or do you think true freedom is living a life of self-control, a chaste life?
3. I do not want to look for a scapegoat, but how do I interpret the fact that up to 80% of the victims of sexual abuse are boys or young men, abused by men. Seems to me rather obvious a homosexual problem. Or not?
4. How do you deal with the fact that the Bible and 2000 years of Catholic tradition reject homosexual acts. Even now the CCC calls homosexuality an objective disorder (I know that fr. Martins does not agree, but still, that is the traditional teaching). Do you think the Bible and 2000 years of Christianity are simply mistaken and that now we are "enlightened"?
I do not know whether you read these questions, but I would appreciate your answers.
