GLBT and The Holy Catholic Church

This is an extract of KaraLynn's response to TransGriot's post about GLBT aggressiveness towards the Church, that I allowed myself to place in here. It's very well-written and brave af KL!!

The Catholic Church didn't start any "war". The radical, millitant activists in the GLBT community did when they sought to stick their noses where they don't belong--into the issue of RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. The Catholic Church has ABSOLUTELY EVERY RIGHT to dictate to Her members how they should live. She doesn't FORCE anyone to be Catholic. You don't like the teachings? Then don't become a Catholic. It's as simple as that.

Certainly you get more respect and compassion from the Catholic Church than you would from the Islamic faith, where they would kill you without hesitation.

As for the sex abuse scandals, I see you haven't used your critical thinking skills and looked into what REALLY happened. Instead you let the media spoon-feed you and tell you selectively what the reality of it was.

What the media didn't tell you is that 99.9 % of the victims were TEENAGE BOYS between the ages of 12-17. They were NOT pre-pubescent children. The men who had relations with these teenagers were in their late twenties and early thirties. Hmmm, sounds a lot like homosexuality to me.

You would do VERY WELL to look in your OWN back yard for cases of abuse. You won't see the Catholic Church establishing and condoning organizations like NAMBLA. NOT ONCE have I heard ANYONE in the GLBT come out and condemn this organization, one that advocates sex between GROWN MEN and LITTLE BOYS.

Not ONCE have I heard the homosexual community speak out about blashpemous actions by groups such as the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" who hold "bingo nights" and give away sex toys in the shape of crucifixes and saints. NOT ONCE have I heard them speak out against blasphemous events like the Fulsom Street Fair where there are gay male strippers dressed up like Jesus, or advertisements that mock the Last Supper--gay men in leather dressed up as Jesus and the Disciples.

Why don't YOU speak out against these disgusting and degrading things? Don't YOU have the balls to stand up against such blatant evil?

Apparently not.

So before you go on line and spew your hatred for an organization that has done more for AIDS patients than ANY OTHER organization in the ENTIRE WORLD, take a look inside yourself and see what's wrong there.

You can't DEMAND respect when you don't give it. Start respecting the Catholic Church's RIGHT to teach and believe what it has been for 2000 years, otherwise you are nothing but a hypocrite.

As for not being able to gain members, did you get that information from the media too? I can tell you have. There are 10, 000 baptisms and conversions INTO the Catholic Church PER MONTH. People are leaving the Episcopal and Anglican churches in droves BECAUSE of their stance on homosexuality. They've caved in to activist bullying and forsaken the teachings of Jesus Christ.
