Everyone knows the secular world opposes the very concept of an individual
with same-sex attraction looking for any sort of remedy or non secular
counsel that may allow them to achieve a state of wholesome
relations with the alternative intercourse. However what’s odd is that many
Catholics appear to have purchased into this. Many assume that if
somebody is just not at present interested in the alternative intercourse, this can be a
static, lifelong situation and due to this fact they have to be known as to
celibacy. However this view includes a number of misunderstandings – of
the SSA expertise, of anthropology, of the ability of God’s grace,
and of the great of celibacy itself.
In the present day’s friends know in any other case as a result of they each have a
background with same-sex attraction, and but are every now married
with youngsters. Andrew Comiskey and Marco Casanova run Desert Stream
and Residing Waters Ministries, which for many years have supplied assist
to Christians looking for therapeutic from sexual issues (together with however
not restricted to SSA). This dialog affords strong, spiritually
and psychologically sound, experience-based solutions to some
disputed questions on how the Church needs to be pastoring these
with same-sex attraction.
It is not about “conversion remedy”. It’s about conversion in
the Catholic sense – someday at a time.
–Can we actually put a ceiling on God’s capacity to heal us
psychologically?
–Does any try at such therapeutic quantity to the secular bugbear
of “conversion remedy”?
–What does life appear to be for an individual with a “homosexual” previous who’s
now married to the alternative intercourse?
–Is it legit for Christians to embrace a homosexual id as
lengthy as they don’t act out sexually?
–Is there such a factor as a chaste same-sex romantic
relationship?
