Huh? Gays have gifts and qualities to offer the church - Vatican

The Vatican has asked for gay men and women to be given a chance in the catholic faith as they have gifts and qualities to offer the church. This call was made in a document released yesterday October 13th by the Vatican after a week-long Synod (Council of a church, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine,) attended by about 200 bishops, who deliberated and came up with the resolution contained in a document which is known by its latino name "relatio",
"Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a further space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming home," the document read..
The document also asked the Church to challenge itself to find 'a fraternal space' for homosexuals without compromising Catholic doctrine on family and matrimony.

I agree from the context of their humanity but disagree on moral and biblical grounds. It is an aberration which should treated as such. This could divide the catholic church it is a subtle way of approving of their sexual preference.

The Pope has always maintained that who is he to judge gay people.
Gay people are not the worst people in our society,we shouldn't throw away the baby with the bath water.
If God should mark our guilt,who will stand.
By showing them love and proper teaching we can help them overcome this challenge.

This isnt exactly new knowledge/news. The Catholic Church doesn't condemn or discriminate against people who are gay or experiencing same sex attraction. They do have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community. Homosexuals are encouraged and advised to live a life of chastity and abstinence....which is what all unmarried people are called to do regardless of their sexual orientation. If someone is attracted to someone else and doesn't act on the feelings, it's not a sin. If a guy is attracted to another guy but he doesn't act on his feelings, he's still Homosexual but he hasn't committed any sin or done anything wrong. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Homosexuality is a cross that some must bear (CCC, 2357-2359). All Christians have to bear their crosses...Jesus told his disciples, 'If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24). Jesus gives us the grace to carry our crosses. Let us continue to pray for our Homosexual brothers and sisters for renewed strength and healing from Jesus to carry this cross that they are called to bear. And let us pray for ourselves too, that we may be a Church that offers them a welcoming home. Our Lady of Purity and Chastity, pray for us.

Simply put! I think they are right! The world has a lot of different people, from Muslims to other religions and tribes. If some twisted people decide to be attracted to same sex! Should the church cut them off? That's what the catholic church is saying - in the same document/post it says without changing catholic doctrine on family and matrimony - which a man and man cannot be married, the catholic church doesn't believe in divorce! Most times people read as is without analyzing information! Proudly Catholic!

NONSENSE ! JESUS fortold all these things that are happenin' now; False prophets will arise, with their false doctrines and lead many astray.

They are tryin' to make homosexuality look like it's not a sin? While GOD wiped out the whole of sodom & gomorrah because of the same act. They should be careful and know that GOD hates homosexuality; It's abnormal, it's against the law of nature and GOD ! Pathetic !

As a catholic I applaud the church for this. Churches should be an accepting and welcoming place for all sinners alike which we all are. What is considered sinful for the church is not the attraction to same sex but the sexual acts that occur between homosexuals. But let's be honest within every church/ religious organization there are fornicators, adulterers, thieves(sometimes masking as pastors and leaders of society) so y do we pick on gay people. We are all just as sinful anyway

@Osinnal i beg to defer. No man is an Island. Paul(saul)was a sinner who persecuted GOD(church), Mary Magdalene, Zaccheus and alot of them in the bible were perpetual sinners but JESUS never ostracized or threw them away infact he went to their homes and dines with them. We are always quick to judge our fellow men when most of us do worse things in the dark. "Thou shall not judge". Having said that, the Catholic faith never said Homosexuality is not a sin. Catholics believe that homosexuality is a sin but it doesn't mean we should condemn/ostracize them. If all people should condemn/ostracize them, then who will pass the gentle message of goodnews to them cos u need love of this people to pass the goodnews to them. the truth is, you and i that are not gay even do worse.

Anonymous said...

This sucks big time. I mean how do you get a sinner to repent of his/her sin if you do not even teach them that they are committing sin in the first place?

Even Jesus said woe unto the pharisees?

How on earth is this supposed to creep into the church without affecting the moral and family values entrenched in the Bible and even society for centuries now?

Why would we see a classic example of what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and still insist this isn't sin before God?

Why didn't God create Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve?

Surely the bible says "when we see the abomination standing in the holy place" let him that reads be wise for the end is surely here.

The bible said "even the devil appears as an angel of light". Of course, The Anti Christ is rising from the Roman Empire and the False Prophet that will render him help surely sits in Vatican.

Prophecies will surely come to Fulfillment. God, all I ask is that you save me and all the faithful servants.

Well it will be a great shocker if the majority agreed on a very deep and intellectual subject as this.

The Vatican hasn't said anything wrong or pushed your already condemned world towards any drastic end, if most of you could actually take 2MINUTES to read the their position then (if possibly)you might, by God's grace, understand...No comment approve the church joining them in matrimony so please relax all your "am perfect" sarcasm.

I am not in support of anything the lord dissaproves, but ironically enough, our Perfect God, through every means in the Bible, has strongly declared we have no right to pass judgement or cast aside any man who has falling short. We would all meet our maker in due time to account for ALL our iniquities.

JNA$$ said...

Am I surprised? NO! Who is the Vatican? Are they not bishops who have various cases on male child molestation? Roman 1:24-27 fulfills on them. 'God....gave them up to uncleanness,....males left natural use of female and become violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full penalty, which was due to their error'. No wonder Jesus Christ himself at Mathew 23:1-28 pronounced series of woes on these religious leaders because as verse 13 puts it '...you shut up the kingdom of heavens before men; for you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit those on their way to go in'. Watering down God's laws to suit your personal life style or to accumulate sympathisers is the highest folly indeed. For the discerning hearts Revelation 18:4 urges you :'Get out of her,my people, if you do not want to share in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues'.

Well know I know why the last pope was made to resign. It remains to be seen if the church will be split. If the decision is accepted, I will just stay for house and carry my bible. No be by church we go go heaven.

The beauty of the God of the bible is that He welcomes all, sinners alike, e.g homosexuals. Infact Jesus came for such. Homosexuals are welcome to church per adventure the word of God's Grace will change them, but not the church to change and start accepting their ways, such as wedding them. Life is a choice, they have chosen to be homosexual against bible demand, so why do they want to force their choice on the body of Christ? Is the church to serve their lust or to serve God? This, the church should answer fearlesly even at the cost of their life, fame or money.Any church that weds Homosexuals by bible standard has erred and acted out of faith. My advice to the church is to remain focus, not to love the world, nor be enticed by the gifts of Satan and compelled by the blackmail of satan and his agents, be content because the church's sufficiency is of God and not of the multi-talented erring gays. May God guide his church and remember His promise of not allowing hell to prevail over the church in Jesus Name.

Of course they do. They are human beings aren't they? They should be given a chance to come to the foot of the cross. How do you expect them to know Jesus if you don't even open the door for them to come into his light? Think people, think...

The question isn't whether they can fellowship with the church or attend church services... The issue is them bin allowed to serve in the Lord's house... To be worthy of service, we need to be sanctified..

We should fear God in all we do.. But really the Times when if a high priest had 1 sin and dared entered the holies of holies he wud be struck dead have passed... Now we live in a time of grace... And humans will take these things for granted..

Him who has ears, let him hear.. a time cometh that the true believers will be vilified hated and seen as foolish and backward.. true worship of Jehovah will become unpopular.. even the elect will be deceived.. be warned

What most of u guys and gals commenting don't understand is that, even most of ur nija so called pastors are homosexual in secret, i,m not condemning them but they knows it's a cross they can't explain and they've tried thier best to let it go but they can't all bcos it's won't hey are from young age, either born with it, or into it or lured into it.... and the truth is this that the most active brethren in churches especially choirs and youth pastors are always gabor bisexuals..... at least 40% to be realistic.. so pls let's leave judgement to God.... no sin is bigger that the other even if it's a sin.... none has a right to judge cos none is qualified as a faithful servant unto God, if we are Christ wouldn't have died for us.

If Catholisim is bad then so is Christianity as a whole as it is the 1st church started by St. Peter after the death of Christ. All other churches started after the creation of the church of England by Henry the 8th (ps. He separated from the church so he could permit himself to divorce his wife and marry another). I really wish these new age churches will educate themselves about the history of religion and the doctrine of the Catholic Church before spewing their hate and ignorance.

PS. Before you say it. Christianity was not started by Christ but by his followers most notably St. Peter who was the 1st ever pope. Christ remained a Jew until his death but I bet they don't teach you that.

We must understand critically the stand of the church on this issue; and to do that, we must be open-minded and objective.

Firstly, the church remains accountable to God, not to me or your views.

Secondly, we as every other person or group are continuously in search of God and how to please him.

And thirdly, God standards must prevail against men's counsel and opinion.

Back to the issue...

There are gays, and that is by whatever depiction that one might give; and if we are commenting, our comments shouldn't be screwed just because we aren't like them. We must not be antagonistic and critical of them simply we do not fall into their group.

The church, as such should not be villified for taking a stand which we feel is offensive to our psyches. The church, we must remember is universal-catholic; nobody owns it and so nobody or group should be discriminated against.

The church is Christ's and it remains his prerogative. In his interactions with tax collectors the perceived sinners of his days, he gave us precedents to follow. Despite the mounting detest and expression of hateful sentiments, he still welcomed and dined with them.

If Christ did this, the question is why should the church be swayed by public sentiment to denigrate gays? The church is the kingdom of God here; and in God's kingdom, all are bid welcome.

The church is not an individual's property, and just because we have unwelcoming approach to gays, should not be binding on the church to do same; when God has not.

So, please let the Catholic church be; people might have their views but we must not vilify the church for 'disappointing' our position; she is not answerable to us but to God.

This is one of the reasons why Anglican was separated from catholic, catholic should watch other churches like all these penticostal churches, catholic church welcome's everything, they accept local traditions like masquerade festival gun shot during their occassion. Catholic church should go back to scripture and change some doctrines, they should be preaching repentance and not advertising themselves, they accept certain things for them to gain population in their church but that is not what christ want, How many people that repents and gave their life to christ is what matters, Sinners should give their life to christ

U pray for those who understand it is a problem and they need help, not those who use the bible to justify their sinful sexual lusts. Nobody is saying homosexuals are the only sinners. The issue here is that they should not impose it on us to accept homosexuality. Homosexuality is not a nature, its a habit. It can be learned and unlearned if the practitioner so wishes.

Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with me nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

who is without sin should cast the first stone...all the catholic church is trying to preach is love. love your neighbour as yourself. so what if homosexuality is a sin. dont we have murderers, fornicators, adulterers, rapists, embezzlers etc also going to church. so who are you to say their sin is greater than the other, afterall they aint killing anyone. so who are we to judge. most of you so called bros and sis of the church are busy sitting in the front pews clapping your hands and shouting halleluya meanwhile una don commit abortion tire. does anybody chase you away from church.... u bloody hypocrites!!!

In this situation, all I do is live the kind of life expected of a child of God, do the right thing, accept Jesus as my personal Lord and saviour, believe in God, keep His commandment. I'll never say anthing that God will use against me on the last day, God is the chief judge He knows His sheep, I'll never condone homosexuality,if a group of people decided to condone it,it is left for them and God to settle it on the last, Homosexuality is an act that is against God and nature.

Anyone in the catholic community who allow the gay men and women opportunity to serve in the church must be antichrist.

Mmm mmmm Bonario (meaning mbanu) you don't "overcome" homosexuality. You get delivered from it! Homosexuality is demon possession my brother. It takes a very deep spiritual insight to understand this fact. You don't negotiate with evil spirits, the only way u help the victims is by praying for them or leading them to a place where they can be thoroughly delivered.

Linda Ikeji post this comment, it wud be a shame if u don't. Now, if Nigerians are can just listen to God whispers in their ears right now, after posting all those comments, then they wud know how hurtful God view them, why is it only in Nigeria that people celebrate human blood via ritual killings? Why is it that only in Nigeria that people celebrate wickedness, why is it that only in Nigeria we have so many churches full with money hunters, why is it only in Nigeria we claim to know God but our inner minds are full with hate, well, just take a look at urselves people, don't we think gay people have the right to live, we are just telling God that we are holier more than the gays, we are just fooling ourselves, because God is not one of us. So people take note.
