putting rubber will not solve it!
Stopping the sexual act will!
RH aims to give more condoms even to homosexual partners!
THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION!
It will make matters worse!
SAY NO TO RH!!!
The blog of a group of Filipino Catholics and their frank commentary on anything that affects their lives as a citizen of the Philippines and as a Roman Catholics.
We are not blaming other for this kind of disease that we have. I am a catholic but upon reading this post i have some doubts on how the church really sees an individual. Homosexual just like other straight guys knows how to love and whats to be loved in return. The church has no right to say things about us homosexuals because even the church don't have solutions to our problems. We don't blame God in this disease, and so the church doesn't have the right to put fingers to us homosexuals in spreading the virus
ReplyDeletePositive po ako,
DeleteI am not sure if you are sick with the disease as you did not say so.
But here is what the Church teaches about homosexuals:
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
In short, we care for the sinnner, the Church does not condone the sin.
That is the message of this post.

Gay sex cannot be the SOLE reason for the spread of HIV in the Philippines. Why do we have to single them out? I know what the Church teaches about homosexuality but...it's sometimes very difficult to get my mind around it. I am straight but I have gay friends and relatives and in some of those unions, I see love that can put some straight couples to shame.
ReplyDeleteAngela Mapa, there are studies indicating the male homosexual sex is the top occasion for contracting HIV. I don't think that is singling out. It is stating a fact. Deal with it.
