Catholic and Bi

No you both missed my point...*sigh*

Will try again

The Catholic religion looks down upon bi sexual or gay people
(which to my mind is not wrong at ALL)...and yet...

Seems to accept for the last hundred years or so the buggery
and abuse of children..

I have met lots who were abused by priests and their mothers
knew and yet didnt do anything about it...

I was talking about irony....how strange they should damn someone
to hell for loving another (whether it be the same sex or not)

and yet......carry on abusing children...

Sorry if I was misleading in my delivery

 

You're right: it is all in the delivery, particularly in text based communication where there are few other cues. Your second line in your reply:

"The Catholic religion looks down upon bi sexual or gay people
(which to my mind is not wrong at ALL)...and yet..."

reads as if you approve of the "Catholoic religion looking down upon bi sexual or gay people..."

Anyway I know what you are getting at now, the mainstream media has exposed a few of the priests your are referring to and one hopes the Catholic Church will get its house in order and that if and when new cases of abuse come to light the culprits will be held to account and the victims get decent reparation.

 

Yeah wording is at times misleading...sorry for that....

Unfortunately in the rural areas such as where I live
it has been quite rife....the abuse thing at one time was
almost acceptable.....can you believe that?

Even now there are a minority of people (older ones) who
cannot see priests doing any wrong at all...

Dont get me started....my soapbox is taking a nap at the
moment

 

Hey Banshee
Theyr'es plenty of Irish in NYC who feel the same way.

 

I am not surprised...

The younger generation here are very
"aware" of the corruption, bullshit and
abuse that surrounds the Catholic
religion...

 

I had no idea where this would go... wow. Anyway...

Well, with the priest issue... Some of those men are trying to get closer to God, to be saved. it's rather sad, actually. I HIGHLY doubt that they come into the priesthood WANTING to abuse someone.

 

i used to consider myself baptist, but then i started realizing that i was indeed bisexual. i saw my religion slowly slip away. i don't know what i believe now... i go to church with my friend sometimes and the whole time i just sit there and think, well this is just sounding more and more like a load of bs
but i don't want it to be that way, i cant get god out of my head! so for now i believe in a higher power who loves us all gay,straigh,lesbian, and bi!

 

I havnt read every page, so I appoligise if I repeat somthing already said, but here is how I see it clean and simple. The bible is hundereds of years old, the old testiment which is where Leviticus is, even older.

Leviticus 18:22:
"The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have brought it upon themselves."

Those laws and ideals were writting in a time of sexual deviance, brothers raped sisters, sons inpregnated daugthers, one of the people in the bible even asks her husband get his house maid pregant instead of her, because she was now infertal!

My point is, back then the world needed a simple guildline of who to, and not to have sex with before it got out of control, people had sex because they can, not because it involed any kind of love or emotion

Nowadays its much different, two guys can share just as much love as a man and a women, the old laws and rules of the old testiment cannot be followed, if they were, you would have to burn down your house everytime you found mildue in it! Its written for those times, and those situations, not modern culture.

So yes, you can be cathlic and bisexual, and if god accepts you as who you are, then so should you, after all, he did make you =P

 

If your God is a loving and peaceful one he will accept you as you accept yourself.

 

HA!
That's hilarious!

 

hey!
i suggest that please don't care those f*cking opinions, these are all because of insular prejudices. for example, i live in a Muslim country, and i don't believe in Muslim, i believe in deism, despite this, it is almost impossible to tell people that i am a bi. my family and my friendship etc. knows that i believe in deism but they don't know that i like girls too because i can't tell! (just 1 person knows) i don't ignore god. and being a bisexual is a part of my human being, so you're not the only one who is mixing the two don't care of people and what they say, live your life, just seize the day :H


(i hope i could tell what i want to say, sorry if i wrote all my ideas with a terrible English!)

 

Hey most christians pick and choose from the bible, why shouldn't you?
