A Brazilian Cardinal in the Catholic Church thinks that Brazilian teenagers are becoming "spontaneously gay" in response to a corrupt society that is driving them away from a sexuality that is "human and suitable". Other members of the Church in the article claim that acceptance of homosexuality will lead to exception pedophilia (I'll make the joke in your head for you: so what's the Church's problem then?).
The idea that non-hetero expressions of sexuality is still considered a side effect of society or some sort of mental disorder is getting a little old these days. The desire of religious and social institutions to force their definitions of what is moral and immoral down peoples throats is also getting a little old. So I have to ask a question myself: why do people cling to churches that want nothing to do with them? I understand that faith is a personal experience and some people don't want to give up God all together, but why stick with a church that defines you as a sinner for something that does not hurt anybody? Why surround oneself with those who will make one feel guilty? The idea that non-heterosexuality is the cause of some damage is sickening me. Gay catholics unite and let the institutions your helping to support know how wrong they are.
