"Thank you for such clarity in the post below. For some time, I have
wondered how it was possible for Fr. Ivo to get it so wrong on homosexuality.
But then, I feel that his requirement to follow the official teaching of the
Vatican comes in the way of thinking for oneself. Of course, Fr.Ivo, whom I
respect for his integrity, would disagree with me on homosexuality and so be
it.
Incidentally, I prefer the term homosexual disposition(s) rather than
homosexual attitudes as per your subject".
*--1.Am I wrong in saying that homosexuality is abnormal or morally wrong,
though we have to treat the homosexuals with love and concern?
2.When I follow the "official teaching" of the Church, because I find
the rationale behind the teaching and regulation sound, "does the Vatican
come "in the way of thinking for oneself"?
3.What do you have to say to my question?
>>Can you accept it (homosexuality) as normal? A mutation of genes may
>>make someone a cleptomaniac or a masochist or sadist or sexually aberrant.
>>Can you accept it? Would you approve of incest, pedophilia, sexual
aberrations?

4.I did not use the expression "Sexual attitudes", but just pursued an
earlier post. <in this post I changed the term "sexual attitudes"
to "Orientation"...
