National Coming Out Week at BC
by Jeff Guhin

Okay.  Thomas Peters has a good point here about how Catholic liberals got self-righteous about the war in Iraq while ignoring issues of Church teaching on homosexuality.

BUT: what’s wrong with coming out, even from a conservative perspective?  Wouldn’t you want gay people to at least know that they’re gay and admit that to people they trust?  Isn’t any form of self-deception evil?

And as for homosexuals living their homosexual lifestyle, well that’s another ball of wax.  Though, honestly, I’m all for people loving each other in whatever consensual, life-centered way they want.  But that’s another conversation: the question here is, is it okay to come out?

Why the hell not?  Even if you’re going to stay abstinate, isn’t that important?

“Gay”, as it were, is actually an illusion. Sans God there can be no happiness, and to be outside of God’s Will is to be without God by virtue of living actively oriented toward man, as opposed to living actively oriented toward God. The etymology of a homosexual orientation does not reveal anything about God. The word, etymologically speaking, does not have a meaning. Homo and sex are in fact incompatible. The proper word to describe what happens when two member of the same (homo) sex come together in copulation is Sodomoy. Why do Paulists, Jesuits and Dominicans try to pretend this word does not exist? Who know. One who is “gay” is more properly identified as a Sodomite, and it is not necessary to have committed any sodomistic engagement to qualify. One does not need to committ a sin with his body to have committed the sin at all. One has only to think it, in his heart, to make so. It is in the vanity that sin exists. It is in the presumption that one can go about all day long thinking of sodomy or sex or whatever sin and not be guilty. Christ came to judge the heart where therefore the NEW LAW was not written in books, it was written on the heart. “The Word of God is near you.” Do not let it go.

One man feeling sexual/sodomistic desire for another man is NOT love. IS NOT. It is perversion, an abomination. We cannot altar the Scriptures to suit our complacent interpretations. The Scriptures exist and is a part of the Living Word, which must be kept near to our hearts.

The Paulists, as a society, are a sinful people, whose minds are turned away from God. It could not be so if their hearts were not first turned away from God. Where the heart is, there also is man’s treaure.

By seeking man for man, it is clear then, that living apart from the natural law such a man is living apart from God, seeking his treasures on earht, not in heaven.

Let’s just all do what we want as long as we’re happy is not FREEDOM in the Christian sense. FREEDOM in the Christian sense means that we are slaves to Christ so that we can be free from the world and sin, to his teaching, which include the Church Christ built.

Turn away from “gay”. It is merely an illusion, a life of shadows and sounds, but nothing substantial nor real. Begin by properly enlightening yourself to what IS. Orient yourself to what IS. Bring light to those around you.

I realize this hurts and may even offend the sense, it is only because you are not used to the light. But I say to you, do not be like the man who was infested with a demon. When the demon left him he cleaned purified his soul with penance. But the demon could not find a suitable place to rest and so returned to the man. When he returned, he found the man has cleaned himself and so the demon went and return with seven more demons, each worse than himself. The last state of teh man was worse than the first.
