From the preface by the cardinal:
Quote:In the Author's story, there is nothing further from his mind than to consider homosexuality as something innate. This is another deception perpetuated against human freedom. There is no scientific proof of genetic homosexuality that is therefore either unaware or obliged. Even if science can demonstrate that homosexuals are born, the fact remains that this cannot reduce the freedom of the individual to his choices and behaviors. The teaching of the Church, an expert on humanity, is clear when it condemns sin, that is, the conscious and deliberate rebellion against God, but never the sinner. It is no coincidence that has filled the sky with saints and has never sentenced anyone to hell, while warning that perdition is a possibility and a danger.
Big news for you, Luca - you’re still gay.

Yabut, you were standing at your anvil, with a near-molten strap of iron in tongs in one hand, and a two-pound sledge in the other. He was afraid of you. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Fair point. God is stumped by iron. All-knowing, all-powerful creator and sustainer of an infinite universe, and a handful of rag-tag Canaanites with iron chariots stopped him cold.

Granted, being married to a proper Catholic woman is not much different than being gay: sex once a week, at most, on Saturday night with the lights turned off.
Or as John Boyne describes in one of his novels where a gay man is trying to marry a woman who doesn't know about his secret: “Because if that’s what you think, Cyril,” she continued, “you have another thing coming. I don’t do that with anyone. And after we’re married, don’t expect it on any night other than a Saturday, with the lights off. I was brought up properly, you know.”
So Luca didn't become non-gay as much as he realized that being married to a woman lobotomized by religion is also gay.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Have you actually met any Catholic women?

I'm talking about proper Catholic women. And yes, I remember a particular Catholic woman when I was around 11 years old who told me she was 35 years old and that she's a virgin and that she always objected to having sex with her boyfriends.

Proper freaks, in my experience. Turns out taboo is sexy, if all the fetish porn didn't drive the point home by itself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Oh, please do fuck off. I was raised in the Catholic church in a very, very Catholic part of eastern Iowa. Your one encounter means jack shit.

The idea of a 35 year old catholic woman lying to an eleven year old about her sex life is great though. Was it a nun, was she undressing as she told the tale?
