Bill Moyers: On Faith & Reason - Richard Rodriguez | PBS

Why would two devout Christians cling to their faith despite their doubt? On Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, airing Friday, July 21 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), author Richard Rodriguez and scientist Sir John Houghton take viewers deep into their personal beliefs and questions about their own faith. Rodriguez, a life-long Catholic, has remained in the Church even though it condemns his homosexuality.

For more of the interviews, and a chance to share what *you* find important on matters of Faith & Reason, visit the program's website (www.pbs.org/moyers) and watch the broadcasts on PBS.

Once a gay Catholic, always a gay Catholic.

Thank you for posting this, PBS.

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.

He chooses this. He refuses to be boxed up. He is just so many things mixed into one.

His sorrow does not show his intellegence, but it does show his wisdom.

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.
