He states the Catholic position that people who bear the cross of SSA should be treated charitably. Do do so does not imply that we support them choosing to act on those tendencies, but that we still treat them as human beings. Is ostracizing them from organizations like the Boy Scouts really going to help them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-89692534737105354412013-08-20T10:58:20.016-05:002013-08-20T10:58:20.016-05:00I feel some pity for Bishop Callahan; he has appar...I feel some pity for Bishop Callahan; he has apparently fallen for the "born that way" lie that the homosexuals have been spouting with some success over the past few decades.<br /><br />If it is true that Bishop Callahan believes this I would respectfully ask him, "What do you tell penitents in the Confessional who confess the sin of sodomy, in thought, word and/or deed? And if he believes someone is born a sodomite I would ask the Bishop if he also believes someone could be born a murderer as well.<br /><br />The Bishop has, sadly, misconstrued what the BSA has done and is trying to put a happy face on an unbelievable tragic situation. The BSA has indeed accepted the "born that way" nonsense which you can glean from their press releases about "gay young boys". Well, the BSA needs to be informed that there is no such thing. That if a boy is getting these horribly sinful temptations he must, with the help of God and his parents, fight these awful tendencies. The BSA is not interested in that; they want to "accept" the situation and call it normal.<br /><br />Bishop Callahan should know better.Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.com
