People who suffer from the disordered homosexual inclination deserve our support and friendship. But to say that God is behind an inclination which is disordered is just bizarre. God does not create people to have a more or less strong tendency toward an intrinsic moral evil.<br /><br /><br />Shame on Father Martin for suggesting otherwise.Joycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-84563332718011302382011-11-06T05:41:32.991-08:002011-11-06T05:41:32.991-08:00"Celeste" writes like Barn2066:

James Martin, I'm also concerned about his assertion that "God creates gays and lesbians." The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its Letter to Bishops which Mr. Melanson cites, teaches that, "Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder." (No. 3).<br /><br />To say that God creates gays and lesbians is to say that He creates people to have this inclination which is an objective disorder. And Mr. Melanson is right. To say that constitutes blasphemy.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-53376839736851918422011-11-06T02:56:10.329-08:002011-11-06T02:56:10.329-08:00The CDF, in its Letter to the Bishops of the Catho...The CDF, in its Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons, has this to say:<br /><br />"Providing a basic plan for understanding this entire discussion of homosexuality is the theology of creation we find in Genesis. God, in his infinite wisdom and love, brings into existence all of reality as a reflection of his goodness. He fashions mankind, male and female, in his own image and likeness. Human beings, therefore, are nothing less than the work of God himself; and in the complementarity of the sexes, they are called to reflect the inner unity of the Creator. They do this in a striking way in their cooperation with him in the transmission of life by a mutual donation of the self to the other.<br /><br />In Genesis 3, we find that this truth about persons being an image of God has been obscured by original sin. There inevitably follows a loss of awareness of the covenantal character of the union these persons had with God and with each other. The human body retains its "spousal significance" but this is now clouded by sin. Thus, in Genesis 19:1-11, the deterioration due to sin continues in the story of the men of Sodom. There can be no doubt of the moral judgement made there against homosexual relations. In Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, in the course of describing the conditions necessary for belonging to the Chosen People, the author excludes from the People of God those who behave in a homosexual fashion." (No. 6).<br /><br />God did not create people with the homosexual inclination. For Fr. Martin to suggest otherwise is blasphemous.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-1850594241129155902011-11-06T02:25:23.073-08:002011-11-06T02:25:23.073-08:00No, he is heterosexual.

Or are you a self-loathing homosexual person yourself?<br /><br />By the way, Father Martin's statement that "God creates gays and lesbians" is just another version of the "born that way" argument.

James Martin, S.J., the culture editor for America Magazine, commenting on Avila's article, said that, "God creates gays and lesbians, men and women who should be loved for who they are."<br /><br />Now, while homosexual persons should be loved as persons created by God [even while hating the sin of homosexual acts], for a Catholic priest to suggest that "God creates gays and lesbians" is simply outrageous. Father Martin's commentary is, in fact, blasphemous as it suggests that God has created an inclination which is "intrinsically disordered."<br /><br />Our troubled and confused time.
