IS BEG GAY A S?
When to gays and lbians, the Gospel valu of love, mercy and passn are the buildg blocks of all church teachg. * lesbian or gay sin *
Some are unr the assumptn that, while the Bible nmns gay sex between men, nowhere nmns beg a lbian/lbianism.
First Corthians 6:9 mentns effemate men, very likely referrg to homosexuals, but do not mentn lbians. So, do the Bible fact nmn male homosexualy, but not lbianism? Clearly, this passage puts lbianism on equal ground wh male homosexualy.
Acrdg to the Bible, beg a lbian is jt as sful as beg a homosexual male. There’s an implitn Romans 1:26 that lbianism is even worse than male homosexualy. (CNS photo/Pl Harg)Sce Buildg a Bridge, a book on misterg to lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr Catholics, was published, I have been asked—at Catholic parish, retreat centers, lleg and universi and nferenc—a few qutns that recur over and over.
Is beg gay a s? Is a s to be gay? Is sful to have same-sex-attractns? * lesbian or gay sin *
The most mon are: “What n we say to gay people who believe that God hat them? ” And “What n we say to gay or lbian Catholics who feel that their own church has rejected them?
”Another mon qutn is about the church’s official teachg on homosexualy, homosexual activy and same-sex marriage. Buildg a Bridge tentnally steered clear of issu of sexual moraly, sce I hoped to foster dialogue by focg on areas of possible monaly; and the church hierarchy and the majory of lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr Catholics rema far apart on the issu.
As an asi, sce the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a pendium of church teachg on var topics, do not addrs bisexual or transgenr persons but rather “homosexual persons, ” I’ll refer here to gay and lbian people to be more teachg at the most basic level is ntaed the Gospels and, even more basilly, the revelatn of the Father’s love J Christ.
The Bible vers aren't about nmng homosexuals, gays, lbians, or transgenr people. Rather, read God's lovg warng and grace for those who have strayed om His will for sex * lesbian or gay sin *
So the most fundamental of all church teachgs about gay and lbian people is this: God lov them. Moreover, his public mistry J ntually reached out to those who felt ignored, exclud or margalized, which many gay and lbian Catholics do. In fact, gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr Catholics are probably the most margalized group the church today, and so I believe that Christ lov them wh a special to gays and lbians, then, the Gospel valu of love, mercy and passn are the buildg blocks of all church that end, ’s important to state that the ey of the church simply beg gay or lbian is not a s—ntrary to wispread belief, even among ted Catholics.
