>Thank you for the info.< A pleasure. >It was interesting and, I believe the proper move for that denomination, or any other for that matter.< Yup. >The Catholic denomination has some messes to clean up and I am glad to see them taking active measures to combat them.< We all have messes, and that church is certainly no different. I am no Roman Catholic, and find much about that church that is simply unacceptable. But I'd have a true Roman Catholic as my wingman without a thought were I faced with a choice between him and a dang liberal Protestant. >I do, however, have a problem with the concept that homosexuals are born that way. < Yup. Me too. The evidence supporting this view is simply non-existent, despite what that homosexual, Dean Hamer, claimed. >I was married to a ballet dancer and teacher for 14 years and saw quite a few of them in that particular profession. From what I heard and observed, a decision was made by the individual to take the deviant path. I believe they choose to say they were born different to try and legitimize their choice.< Yup. No dang body is an animal. Folk have the choice to pervert their bodies with homosexuality or not. Folk have the choice to get themselves flat drunk, even though some may have some sort of a disposition toward these sorts of things. (btw, congrats on your victory. Keep of the good work. Just keep running fanatically from sin. If your mind starts dwelling on it, put something good in it, just keep running the race no matter what. No dang matter what.) >A whole lot of flak will probably be coming my way about this position but, that is my opinion.< Shoot. Do these folk here write you checks? Then you say whatever you dang well please. Even if they write you checks, say it anyway. A little starvation never hurt anybody (grin).
