My Sister Wearing Stockings

Fennel


"Fennel " .
Fennel is the derogatory term, one of many, by which, especially appealed to my Rome are gay people, but perhaps few know what it is to be attributed to this term.
In times not so far away, the Church used to burn homosexuals, guilty of being "against nature", but graciously attentive to the pleasure and enjoyment of those who were present at these shows uplifting and not to disturb their sense of smell, with the nauseating smell of burnt human flesh, along with bundles of wood which was set on fire purification, were added to the fags, so burning, cover with their smell the nauseating stench that emanated from the fires.
Now the fires are gone, fennel, real ones, are eaten on the table, but the Church's attitude is not changed at all against gay people.
To emphasize this concept came the latest statements of our Pope in his book-length interview " Light of the world," already the subject of our attention about condoms and their use allowed in very exceptional cases.
Pope-thought on the subject of homosexuality can be summed up and explained: Homosexual persons must be respected and should not be discriminated against, but homosexuality remains something that is against the nature of what God originally intended and is not compatible with the priesthood.
few clear, categorical concepts leaving no room for doubt and do not open any window of opportunity to a healthy debate. Ipse dixit.
But do not give rise to doubt a misinterpretation, or worse, a victim of prejudice and partisan interpretation, let me back in full quotation marks, the words of the Holy Father:
" An account is the fact that they are people with their problems and their joys and to which, as people are due respect, people should not be discriminated against because they have those tendencies.
Respect for the person is absolutely crucial and decisive.
Yet the deep meaning of sexuality is another.
One might say, wanting to express in these words, that evolution has created sexuality for the purpose of reproduction.
This is also true from a theological viewpoint. The sense of sexuality is to lead man and woman, each other and thereby providing humanity offspring, children, the future.
Everything else is against the deeper meaning of sexuality. And this even though we must remain faithful to our age do not like. This is the profound truth of what sexuality means in the structure of the human being.
If someone deep-seated homosexual tendencies, though in all cases these trends have a certain power over that particular person, then this is a great test for him as a person may have to bear further testing.
But why homosexuality becomes morally right, but remains something that is against the nature of what God originally intended. "
Homosexuality is incompatible with the priesthood because otherwise even celibacy as a waiver does not make sense. It would be a great danger if the reason to start to become celibate priesthood people do not want to get married anyway, because ultimately also their attitude towards man and woman is somehow altered..
Forgive me for the license that he wanted to bring the songs in full highlights of the Pope's speech, but only a full reading can, in my opinion, give an account of some concepts that are not my interpretation, but an objective fact.
First the Pope, after a benign condescension towards people, that must be respected as persons (but why would not they? ) forget or conveniently omits to mention, that the Church which now heads, has not complied with these people, burned at the stake, along with the heretics, witches, those who wanted simply exercising their free speech.
But it is water under the bridge, of which there is no need to mention.
Behind this, however, only apparent magnanimity reveals a strong and rigidly homophobic attitude which the Church has never given up and the words of its leader are an example.
Subject to compliance with the discourse on gay people, for which we agree, we must agree, the thought of the Pope, is complicated, in my opinion, in succeeding, in terms of logical consistency, I do not know theology, which says the Pope to be a genius and a scholar.
While, as the Pope says, it is true that "the evolution created sexuality to reproduction and sense of sexuality is to lead man and woman to each other and thereby bring to humanity offspring, children, the future, " although, as always, the Pope asserts that " if someone has some deep-seated homosexual tendencies, whether in any case, these trends have a certain power over that particular person, then this is a great test for him as a person may have to bear other evidence," then they are logically forced to conclude that these homosexual tendencies, as a great test those waters, and are not a free choice of whom are my creator and manager, but a misfortune that happened to me in the head and neck, an accident, a twist of fate.
The Pope then I must logically demonstrate and explain the meaning of his next statement: "But not for this homosexuality becomes morally right, but remains something that is against the nature of what God originally intended."
If homosexuality is a big clue that I had to have to endure, and then I'm not responsible, then why my homosexuality can not become morally right?
Again, if homosexuality " remains something that is against the nature of what God had originally wanted," then let me ask you again to the Pope, evidently, he said, knows very well the will of God, whether in its opinion on homosexuality in question is due to an oversight, for a moment of inattention to God, to an involuntary execution error, or construction for which the product was finally different from the original project.
even more tortuous and logically incomprehensible, it is the Holy Father's speech about homosexuality and the priesthood. In fact, the Pope said: " Homosexuality is incompatible with the priesthood, because otherwise even celibacy as a waiver does not make sense."
In other words, if I including the homosexual who became a priest, the vocation to celibacy, that the renunciation of marriage with a woman, in reality not a true waiver as homosexual and therefore not eager to marry a woman, then there would be merit in his resignation.
reasoning specious and deceitful, a worthy man of the church, which does not take account of a small, insignificant particular, namely that the vocation to celibacy is to be understood as a renunciation of vocation to active expression of their sexuality and marriage .
Unfortunately I do not think that the Pope never melt my doubts by answering my questions.
