The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality Video

[fdpgeorgia]

Homsexualit is a disorder rooted in the fallen nature of man. It is contray to the natural law. Having said that, homosexual should be treated with the dignity of all mankind as they are, in the first instance, created in the image of God. Treating people with dignity must encompass teaching the truth.

[hikari4light]

I'm talking to a Catholic on a video I made concerning this subject, He claims that being gay is not a choice and that it is not wrong to be a lesbian and that I'm telling lies about the Catholic church if I say otherwise. I'm not Catholic. but I think its really nice to get the truth about the teachings of the Catholic church so I'd like to thank you so much for posting this video! Off the subject was Paul married according to the Catholic Church?

[rosaryfilms]

@hikari4light - thank you for your comments! I do not know the answer to your last question. Regards...

[leharra]

this is so true! 5*****

[rosaryfilms]

leharra, thanks!

[yoshi3329]

Lesbianism is not okay. Read the first chapter of romans.

[revanspalace]

Why?

[WingParadox]

That is a poor argument. God also knows that murders will murder, that thieves will steal, that arsonists will burn things, and yet these people, too, are created. That doesn't mean that God is okay with them.

[agilbosco]

He didn´t create homosexuals.

Only, the spirit is both man and woman aswell, but if you body is male, you can´t bring your female side to the surface.That is sin.

You have to we straight..

I another incarnation, yor will be a woman, and then you must have the behavior of a woman.

[revanspalace]

Homesuality is not against natural law, in fact there homosexuality has been observed in many different types of animals. Generally catholics don't like it becuase it doesn't create babies, but what is more good and natural than two people expressing their love?

[rosaryfilms]

revanspalace, homosexuality is against natural law. If you really want to know what the Church teaches, please check out some of the books at Tan Books web site. Also, see "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" (and part 2) for Church teachings on homosexuality.

[revanspalace]

If homosexuality is against natural law then why does your God create Homosexuals, I know the catholics opinion, now I want to know yours, why do you think homosexuality is a sin?

[rosaryfilms]

revanspalace, God created male and female (see Genesis). God does not create homosexuals.

[revanspalace]

Then who does, is there a creator being outside of God, someone who overides his power? The god of homosexuals?

[rosaryfilms]

revanspalace, homosexual acts are always a decision made by the person committing the acts.

[ryuda89]

Therefore homosexual acts are natural since it is a human decision that has not been forced upon them. As the Bible states somewhere that a serpent made a naked man and a naked lady eat a fruit which in return gave them the knowledge that God has. Therefore Homosexuals aren't ignorant about their decision either as they clearly know the difference between Good and Evil. Because if God doesn't know whats natural then i doubt anybody can decide whats natural.

[tomeurofire]

"revanspalace, God created male and female (see Genesis). God does not create homosexuals."

What a horrible argument! What are homosexuals then, a 3rd sex? Hitler tried using that argument. Anyways, can you just cut off your internet connection b/c you obviously have lost touch with the world already.

[rosaryfilms]

tomeurofire, homosexual acts are always a decision made by the person committing the acts. You are the one not dealing with reality.

[agilbosco]

God didn`t created you homosexuall, that was you self.

It is a Sin, because you don´t get a baby from the ass of a man.

[21woman]

If someone is going to be a priest i.e. 100 young man, than they know that they will never have a woman on her side. For this reason 50 young man drop out the lecture and get married. Under the remaining 50 young man the percentage of homosexuals are now twice as much. When they discover why they never had the urge to get married they working for the most homophobic organisation there is. The church is so obcest with this issue because there are so much closed gays.

[kateadam28]

there are 1000's of religions are they all right?

some which contradict the other ect

even some that contradict themselves !

[kateadam28]

If thats what you believe the church teaches you then I BELIEVE THE CHURCH IS WRONG! I dont follow any religion or book my idea of god is love and positivity !

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, the Church is not wrong.

[btodawg83]

"They affect the participants in the acts, they affect the mother and father of the participants, they effect the siblings, the relatives. The acts can and do scandalize school children"

In what way can anyone be negatively affected by homosexuality?

[rosaryfilms]

btodawg83, homosexual acts that are done knowingly and willfully are always gravely sinful and such mortal sin always adversely affects one's soul. This grave sin grieves the mother and the father of the transgressor. Children can be scandalize when people, such as yourself, try to trivilize homosexual acts as not sinful.

[btodawg83]

-How is homosexuality mortal sin?

-Do you have a gay son or daughter? If you don't, how can you speak for every mother and father of a homosexual when you say it grieves the mother and father. I know you're used to giving vague answers, but try not to do that this time.

[rosaryfilms]

btodawg83, please see my video, "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" and also Part 2. This will help educate yourself on what the Church teaches on these matters. These videos are conveniently located on the video sidebar.

[killallstupidpeople]

00:33 "They [homosexual acts] are contrary to natural law".

Incorrect. A percentage of every dual sex species on the planet is homosexual. That's "natural".

[kateadam28]

Murder is negative and will have a negative impact on my family , homosexual acts do not negativly effect anyone, and can be a positive physical experience, an act in which two people can be very much in love and show this love through physical contact. How can you possibly even suggest murder is anywhere near the same as a homosexual act?! I have seen the videos and find them offensive!

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, homosexual acts do negatively effect others. They affect the participants in the acts, they affect the mother and father of the participants, they effect the siblings, the relatives. The acts can and do scandalize school children, etc., etc.

[killallstupidpeople]

That's bullshit, Rosary. Homosexuals only negatively effect people who hate them. Stupid Bigots, namely.

"The acts can and do scandalize school children".

Ok, what in the hell is that supposed to mean?

Rosary, I try to respect you, I really do, but this video really illustrates how closed minded you really are.

[rosaryfilms]

killallstupidpeople, please see "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" to get yourself updated on what the Church teaches. Also, please clean up your vulgar language.

[SpeedyBruin]

Sorry, claiming that the families of gay people are negatively affected is wrong. I know many supportive family members and what goes on between two consenting, adults is honestly no buisness of a church they do not attend. Scandalize school chilrden? You lost me entirely.

[kateadam28]

A GODLESS MORALITY by richard holloway......keeping religion out of ethics.....a good book

[kateadam28]

Critizing ? lol have a read at what I wrote i was asking qustions!

lol how do you know what am familiar with? how do you know am not homosexual or that someone in my family is?

Here is my point, I think it is wrong to be nagative , I think it is wrong to make people feel nagative about them selfs, I think it is wrong for someone to think they know how others should live . I think the only person that knows what is right for them is themselfs!

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, and what if someone thinks that it is right for themselves to murder you? Would you object? Please see my videos "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" and part 2 to answer some of your questions.

[kateadam28]

Again I said being attracted too!

A person that has been born with a genetic desire which is out of there control ( attracted to the same sex), and you condem them for it! ( saying there thoughts are to grotesque to mention)

If you are pro life how do you think that person feels about them selfs if they thought like you......they would hate them selfs and maybe as a result develop mental problems......is it fine to make someone feel like that? to inflict that pain on someone?

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, instead of critizing something that you are not familiar with, please see my videos "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" and part 2 to answer some of your questions.

[kateadam28]

being attracted to the same sex is not a choice!

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, engaging in homosexual ACTS (too grotesque to mention in detail) are always a choice, just like engaging in heterosexual ACTS is always a choice.

[SpeedyBruin]

based on your psychological knowledge? personal experience? Or are we picking and choosing from leviticus?

[rosaryfilms]

SpeedyBruin, please see "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" to get yourself updated on what the Church teaches.

[CurtainRod]

If what the church teaches is always correct, then why doesn't EVERYBODY go by what the church says? If it was found to be the best possible way of living life for everybody, then our governments would be pushing for everyone to be part of the catholic church, and as far as i know most haven't. if people are part of your church and want to hear these things, then go tell them. don't tell people that BECAUSE of what you believe, their lifestyles are wrong.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, your rationalizations for homosexual unions are illogical at best. Homosexual unions are violations of natural, moral, religious and even medical laws. History has shown there is nothing good about attempted homosexual unions. Perhaps you should educated yourself in these matters, before coming on this channel and accusing others of circular reasoning.

[ProfMTH]

I've done more than make an accusation of circular reasoning; I've demonstrated that the argument you presented (the argument that the Catholic Church presents) boils down under scrutiny to the circular argument that sex between married heterosexuals is morally OK because they're married heterosexuals. As for the rest of what you said, they're nothing more than baseless assertions, which are as uncompelling as the cirucular argument.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, you know less than nothing about what the Church teaches. You really should read up on something before you criticize it.

[ProfMTH]

LOL. OK, Rosaryfilms. Whatever makes you feel better.

[rosaryfilms]

Furthermore, it is only an act of that kind that "consummates" their union. Since same-sex persons cannot engage in that kind of behavior--the kind of behavior spouses are supposed to do--they simply cannot marry. How would they "consummate" their union and become "one flesh"? It is absurd to think that cunnilingus, fellatio, sodomy, and similar behavior make the persons engaging in such acts to be "one flesh." And it is also absurd to think that same-sex persons can "marry."

[rosaryfilms]

Some champions of same-sex marriage claim that sterile husbands and wives cannot generate life, and they are not refused marriage, so why refuse it to persons of the same sex? Although sterility prevents such husbands and wives from having children, they nonetheless can and do become "one flesh" in their acts of coition; moreover, those acts are the sort of bodily acts, and the only sort of bodily acts, apt for receiving new human life.

[kateadam28]

I have read the religious books and Buddhism seems to make the most sense to me. I am not religious, I have a set of beliefs and morals that I pick up from my environment and the books I read. I have come to the conclusion that negative is wrong and positive is good. So do you think it is right to condemn and look down on those who are born a certain way ie. homosexual. Could you so easily condemn someone who was born disabled.

[rosaryfilms]

kateadam28, homosexual ACTS are always a matter of choice.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, you have no point. And, there is no stumping. The only baseless claim is the one you just made.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, you do not understand the teachings of the Church on marriage and sexuality.

[wanderingivie]

I agree that a person can't be both Christian and Homosexual, since their orientation is intrinsically against Christian doctrine. But why bother them beyond that? Homosexuality isn't destructive, and it certainly isn't contagious. Why bother someone who isn't bothering anyone else? Gays have endured terrible things for their sexuality: don't you think, if they could be any different, they would? Moreover, if your god is the Prince of Peace, would he want you harassing peaceful people?

[rosaryfilms]

wanderingivie, please see my video, "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video" (and also part 2), where a lot of your questions will be answered in detail. I am not trying to dodge your questions, but those videos have a lot of information that will answer your questions.

[bogienka]

there is a deep difference between homosexual inclinations and homosexual practice. I know one catholic homosexual who lives in chastity. He says it's difficult, homosexual dreams make him wet-dream at night, but he is strong and his heart is pure.

[wanderingivie]

That's true, and your friend is very admirable for his resolve. I've never understood why homosexual acts should be evil, though. It's an expression of love between two consenting individuals who care for each other, and those two are the only people involved. What negative affects can it possibly have?

Maybe I just care about people too much, but it doesn't seem right that anyone could condemn an otherwise good person to a life without love.

[rosaryfilms]

wanderingivie, homosexual acts are contrary to natural law and contrary to God's Law. God created Adam and Eve, male and female, and blessed them.

[ProfMTH]

And yet the Church approves of the marriage and sex lives of sterile heterosexual couples, whose sexual acts are as closed to "the gift of life" as homosexual sexual acts. Strange how that works, eh?

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, you are mistaken in your understanding.

[ProfMTH]

Mistaken?  How so?

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, even a married couple, who have been sterile, (by no fault of their own), must be open to the possibility of creating life by their act of conjugal love, because, in some cases, a child can indeed result from their natural act of love. The homosexual act, however, is against natural law and contrary to God's Law.

[ProfMTH]

Hmm. That's a curious response. Let's assume the married heterosexual couple is composed of a woman without a uterus and a man who doesn't produce sperm. Is it truly your belief that conception "can indeed result" from this couple having sex? If that *is* your belief, I'd love to hear the reasons underpinning it. Thanks.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, first of all, the Church teaches that a married couple should not have their reproductive organs removed as a form of birth control. Perhaps you could come up with a better example.

[ProfMTH]

I didn't say they had them removed. But let's make it explicit: the woman was born without a uterus and the man just never produced sperm one day in his life. Is it truly your belief that conception "can indeed result" from this couple having sex? If that *is* your belief, I'd love to hear the reasons underpinning it. Thanks.

[ProfMTH]

Rosaryfilms, any thoughts in response to my questions? Thanks.

[ProfMTH]

Rosaryfilms? You're leaving me with the unfortunate impression that you've been stumped.

[rosaryfilms]

ProfMTH, you misunderstand what I have been saying and also do not understand what the Church teaches. A married couple engaging in conjugal love must always be open to the possibility that their act may result in having a child.

[ChoofMonster]

I understand that the Church feels this way about homosexuality, but, other than curbing behavior related to their impulses, what can they actually do?

There is no way to change someone's innate sexuality - I could not be 'gay' even if I wanted to. Anti-sodomy laws are difficult to enforce, and many homosexuals remain 'closeted' because of social stigma, so you don't always know who is gay or not - even married men with children develop latent homosexual tendencies.

[rosaryfilms]

ChoofMonster, one of the fallacies propagated nowadays by many, is the falsehood that homosexuals have not made choices about the type of sexual behaviour they engage in. Homosexual ACTS are sinful. For more info to answer your question, please see my video, "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video".

[ChoofMonster]

I don't condone what they apparently do, but I can't stop them, nor is it my place to do so.

A lot of homosexuals find heterosexuality distasteful - apart from calling us 'breeders', they don't have an issue with what heterosexuals do in private.

Homosexuality is not humorous, popular culture has used comedy to allay the old image of gays being tragic and derided figures.

[frankscola]

Homosexuality rights WOOO!!!!

If you can find someone to relate to care about and love, thats enough. If your going to put yourself and your ways of thinking onto others then prepare to have them turned down. Just because someone is diffrent doesnt mean they are wronge.

Love and let live, share the peace and get on with life

[rosaryfilms]

frankscola, please see my video, "The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons 01 Educational Video".

[frankscola]

ok ill look at it ^.^
