If catholics believe that gays shouldnt get married because they cant reproduse than how come infertal people?

Question

or women who went through menopause can get married? I really dont see the differece between two.

Answer 1

gay is a sin being infertile isnt

Answer 2

An infertile person has a malfunction. The infertile person should still remain open to the possibility of children. Any couple, regardless of how old or young, fertile or infertile, is incapable of entering into a true marriage without having the intention of trying to procreate.

Homosexual sex, or really any anal sex period, is by its nature opposed to the two goods of human sexuality: (a) the unitive aspect, because two men cannot become one flesh. (b) the procreative aspect, because the use of the sexual faculty through the anus frustrates the procreative good of human sexualty.

Again, in the case of the infertile, every attempt should still be made to use the sexual act in a way that does not act against the procreative good.

And as always, deliberate sterilization is objectively sinful.

Answer 3

There is a difference, God did not intend for Man to marry Man or Woman to marry Woman.

He intended Man and Woman.

A logn time ago the idea of a Man marrying a Man or a Woman marrying a Woman was seen as utterly disgusting and now I am being told that I am suppose to like what I think is disgusting, and that I should be required by law to wake up every morning, open a bottle of 17th Century French Champagne, chug it and say "yeah yeah I love gay sex."

Yeah right, I am not going to ever support Gay Marriage, anyone who even tries to change my mind on this will be wasting their time and energy for absolutely nothing.

Answer 4

The Catholic Church believes that God himself is the author of marriage and has created it for one man and one woman.

The Church further teaches that being homosexual is not a sin but that all single people (heterosexual and homosexual) are called to celibacy.

Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.

The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."

Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
About marriage, section 1601 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt3art7.htm
About homosexuality. section 2357 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

Love each other as God loves us! This doesn't mean we have to support actions that we know are immorally wrong and obviously against what God said!
I will always with open arms welcome any person, of any kind in my home. But, I still wouldn't, and don't have to agree that one wrong over the other is better or more exceptable. I am not God, I am just trying harder, as I get older to obey more to what makes God happy!!

Answer 6

homosexual is a sin.


It was so important to God that he commanded Moses to tell the Israelites not to have homosexual relationships.

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deu 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

Paul commaned christians not to have homosexual relationships.

1 Cor 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (note* abusers of mankind).

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

1 Tim 1:8-10 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Answer 7

i believe that the catholic church and some other religions are against same sex relations. God created Adam and eve not Adam and Steve, or eve and eve, that is what is to be found in the bible.

Answer 8

Your premise is defective. Man was not meant for man. We have to realize that homosexuality is an abnormality and should be approached as such.

Peace and blessings!

Answer 9

The Catholic church is all about power and money.. Lifting restrictions and changing laws (even idiotic nonsense ones) means a lose of power and therefore a lose of money..

Answer 10

It isn't that gays can't reproduce, that is the problem. It is the fact that no man should lay with another man and no woman should lay with another woman. God made man for woman and woman for man. There is your difference!

Answer 11

i see your point but its because its just not the "norm" that people are and were used to... i dont understand why people have such a hard time changing....
