A few bishops voiced concern Monday that the guidelines, on which a final vote is expected Tuesday, would not help them reach gay Catholics. Bishop J. Kevin Boland of Savannah, Ga., said the distinction between calling homosexuality a disordered inclination and insisting that gay people are not disordered would be lost on gay men and lesbians.
“I think that is quite reasonable for the heterosexual, but for the person with the inclination it will be very hard to accept,” Bishop Boland told the conference. “To apply it pastorally can be quite difficult.”
It can be quite difficult because we’re not all idiots or filled with self-loathing. That particular absess took a long time to drain, and I don’t particularly feel the need to refill it. Assholes.
Funny how they still feel the need to mince words. Just be out with the hate already.
Imagine, people who’ve grown up with certain information about themselves not thinking they’re disordered. Who’d have thought?
Oh, wait. Someone just told me that having skin is a disorder. Time for me to go get some sandpaper.
Damn… I expected so much more from the church.
Oh, wait.
…it will be very hard to accept.
Beautiful. Because homosexuality is directly linked to cognitive abilities, right?
Gag me with a spoon.
