Yep. I knew a homosexual priest, he wasn't a very nice person but that's beside the point. I presume it's not approved of but don't really know. There are homosexuals in every walk of life why would Catholics be exempt?

@Zoranna Catholicism was just the example not an exception

@JovialPlutonian I see, gotcha. I'll rephrase: homosexuality occurs everywhere but I doubt any religion would approve, tolerate maybe but not approve. That's just my opinion though.

@Zoranna I agree in that I just don't understand for example why ppl would call themselves Catholics or wish to continue being a part of it if it disagrees with their views.

@JovialPlutonian I don't know but I don't see why they can't be Catholic (or whatever) and homosexual. I'm agnostic now but was raised Catholic and I was taught that God accepts all who believe.

@Zoranna I don't really know why a homosexual would ever want to be catholic

Zoranna · F

@JovialPlutonian Neither do I but each to their own.

@Zoranna I suppose so
