There are homosexual Americans, Russians, Britons, Germans, French, Filipinos, etc. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEIR NATIONALITY?

There are homosexual teachers, doctors, soldiers, lawyers, engineers, athletes, govt. employees etc. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEIR PROFESSION?

There are homosexual priests, pastors and ministers and televangelists... WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEIR FAITH?

VOCATION IS A DIVINE CALL TO A PERSON TO OFFER HIMSELF OR HERSELF TO HIM IN A CONSECRATED OR SPECIAL MANNER. THE SINFULNESS OF THE PERSON DOES NOT DENY THE GENUINENESS OF THE VOCATION IT ONLY MANIFESTS THE FRAILTY AND WEAKNESS OF THAT PERSON, LIKE DAVID WHO WAS TRULY CHOSEN BY GOD YET HE WAS INTO ADULTERY AND MURDER. OF COURSE, WHEN DAVID WAS INTO ADULTERY HE WAS UNFAITHFUL TO HIS VOCATION AS KING AND A SERVANT OF GOD. THE SAME THING WITH MINISTERS WHO ARE COMMITTING HOMOSEXUAL ACTS. THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THE FAITH. IT IS THE PERSON THAT MUST BE BLAMED FOR THEIR SINFULNESS NOT THE CHURCH OR THE VOCATION ITSELF.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT ROOTED IN VOCATION, PROFESSION OR MINISTRY. IT IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER THAT AFFECTS PEOPLE FROM ALMOST ALL STRATA OF LIFE. YOUR EFFORT TO CONNECT HOMOSEXUALITY WITH VOCATION IS PATHETIC AND ILLOGICAL. NOT EVEN 1% OF OUR PRIESTS HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HOMOSEXUALITY. THERE ARE MORE PASTORS AND MINISTERS WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED INTO SUCH A THING.

Dearest Fr.Abe,

may I ask if do you believe that our Church hated homosexuals and how does the Church want us, the laity to respond to this issue on homosexuality?

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH REJECTS AND HATE HOMOSEXUALITY BECAUSE IT IS CONTRARY TO HUMAN NATURE SET BY GOD THE CREATOR. IT IS AGAINST NATURE.

NOW, AS REGARDS 'HATING' THE HOMOSEXUALS WE HAVE TO PUT THINGS INTO PROPER PERSPECTIVE: "THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IS NOT TO HATE THE SINNERS BUT TO SAVE THEM". ON THE ISSUE OF HOMOSEXUALITY THE CHURCH VIEWS THE HOMOSEXUALS AS HUMAN PERSONS WHO ARE AFFECTED BY DISORDER. THUS, THEY NEED GUIDANCE AND HELP RATHER THAN CONDEMNATION.

THE CHURCH DEMANDS FROM THEM TO LIVE A CHASTE LIFE AND AVOID SIN OF FORNICATION WITH SAME SEX BECAUSE THAT IS ABOMINABLE TO THE LORD.

THOSE WHO FOLLOWS THAT DIRECTIVE AND ARE WILLING TO BE HELPED IN ORDER TO BE FREE OF THEIR DISORDER WE SUPPORT AND HELP. BUT THOSE WHO ENGAGED IN SAME-SEX SEXUAL ACTIVITIES, THOSE WHO ENGAGE IN PROSTITUTION OR PAYING 'BOYS' FOR THEIR SELF GRATIFICATION, ETC. ARE WARNED THAT SUCH THINGS ARE GRAVE SINS AND UNACCEPTABLE TO THE CHURCH.
