That St. Joseph's has a couple of Leviticus 18:22 alumnae is not really a news story. What is remarkable is the approbation of their story by their fellow alumni. The school, it seems, initially tried to exclude them from a contest, "How I met my Hawkmate," but then caved. (read more here - not for tender eyes)
There is also a remarkable story to be considered in their seared consciences as contrasted with the more tender consciences of the men in our previous story. They have pride in their sin, not shame, whilst their Colombian counterparts were absolutely overcome (in Judas-like fashion) with shame.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is very gentle with homosexuality:
ReplyDeleteHomosexual 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.
But in the meantime, they've always got the sacrament of reconciliation.
TFan,
ReplyDeleteI have tender eyes. Can you provide a short PG-13 synopsis/summary of what happened?
Two women consider themselves mates and want to marry some day. They received an award for telling the story of how they met (apparently at St. Joe's).
ReplyDeleteOh. What's the PG-13 story of the Colombian priests?
ReplyDeleteAt least one of them contracted at least two painful, terminal incurable consequences for the actions that they were engaged in. After apparently being unable to persuade one another to go bungee jumping without the bungee, they settled on the suicide for hire option, which worked.
