And obviously, they're not going to marry gay couples. So according to the Catholic Church, anyone who is homosexual must remain celibate to be able to take communion.
That's a pretty big part of one's self to deny. Imagine being told, at the age of, oh, 17, that you had to remain celibate ALL YOUR LIFE if you wanted to take communion.
I feel like you're just regurgitating what I already said (being gay is not wrong, only acting on it), and bringing up things I've already addressed (that yes, it's very difficult, and yes, God has a lot of mercy), so I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me? Lol.
mercy? According to your church, I'm supposed to be celibate all my life, because of something I did not choose for myself, or go to hell, and this is MERCY? I can fall in love, desperately want to be with that one person for the rest of my life, but I can't TOUCH them, because if I do, I'm banned from communion? This is mercy?
