All part of what it means to be human. Religious forgiveness should come at the cost of sincerely trying to improve one's character. Too often folks go to church to be forgiven for "errors, weakness" and then forget to honestly seek to be better. We all need to deal with those feelings.
Read his books. Richard Rodriguez is anything but a loser. And I'm sure he knows the Catholic Church is very catholic--probably more than any other church it has always embraced those who don't follow the mom-dad-kids route.
I wonder if he goes to Dignity masses--Dignity is a Catholic organization for gays and friends of gays.
Yo creo, tal como acabo de mirar esta entrevista, que tener fe no significa en nada cometer errores al margen del amor, pues el pecado no existe, la limosna y la industria del vaticano sí.
You are born outside of your own will. You were created imperfectly. STOP apologizing for being human by accepting the bizarre catholic propaganda of "original sin" "being a sinner" Leave the silly church and go be happy my friend.
Once a gay Catholic, always a gay Catholic.
