They have a constitutional right to express their opinions. Their stand on different issues has its own weight. The Church has to protect the family. The scientific evidence given by me below about homosexuality comes from scientific investigation, not from "religious organization" (Catholic News Service). Dr.Santosh has not refuted it. Let him browse in the Internet and provide us better "scientific, peer-controlled material"...We have to distinguish between homosexual orientation and homosexual behaviour. Homosexual activity is morally wrong. We have to help the homosexuals with concern so as to use their freedom as much as possible for their renewal. We call "gay" the one who is "proud" of his homosexual tendency. Gays become militant and try to attack the values of our culture and militantly intend to corrupt our youth. Unhealthy, immoral, abnormal behaviour cannot be legalized (given rights). We need rehabilitation of the homosexuals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fr. Ivo, I think the Catholic Church should set the example by first examining its own house. And I am not talking about priests. Bishops and even Archbishops have been removed from office because of 'alleged' homosexual misconduct. Once the church has cleaned its house, it will regain its authority to preach to the rest of us on sexual misconduct. Here is a wikipedia link to bring you up to date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_and_Roman_Catholic_priests Mervyn1650Lobo __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
