[quote=Anonymous][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]

You can see what fruit they bear.

The fruit of heterosexual desire is family, children and the continuation of the Church. What is the fruit of homosexual desire? [/quote]

What is the fruit of an infertile couple?[/quote]

Yup.  This right here is one of the reasons I'm now Episcopalian.  DH and I aren't able to have biological kids.  The teachings on marriage in the Catholic church are so incredibly harmful and hurtful to infertile couples (and of course to homosexual couples).  When you combine the teaching that the proper fruit of a marriage is children with the church's near complete opposition to assistive reproductive technology, its a real malicious message infertile couples hear.
