[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But like why would you want to be a part of a faith that says acting on your natural desires is sinful? I know they say that being gay isn't inherently sinful but living a full life as a gay person is considered wrong so why would you want to be a part of this faith? [/quote]

I have all sorts of “natural desires” I’d like to act on but don’t because to do so would be immoral. I’d like to sport around on my spouse; I’d like to drink to excess; I’d like to punch people in the nose; I’d like to take nice things without paying for them.  The ability to sublimate desire in favor of the will is what makes human beings more than barnyard animals.[/quote]

If your religion told you that your heterosexual desires (even within marriage) were immoral and you had to be celibate your whole life, would you bow to that teaching? Could you live without sex?[/quote]
The Catholic Church tells priests and nuns to do that.[/quote]

Are you suggesting gay and lesbian Catholics need to become priests and nuns?

I wonder what percentage of priests leave to get married. Add in those who live in what would be considered common-law marriages, or those who have had relationships even while wearing the collar. [/quote]
