Once upon a time I was the Chief Pilot for a large Catholic University, operating their corporate turboprop. I was glad they didn't take that whole "vow of poverty" too seriously since I needed the job. (By the way, I don't think they cared that an atheist was driving their plane. So far as I could tell about half of the Priests could be described as, at best, agnostic.) Anyway, they once sent me down to pick up a Donner who was bringing a 1 MILLION dollar check to the school. They were throwing a dinner party in his honor.
And if I want to conclude from that they are united in worshipping Mammon instead of Yahweh, Jehovah, Jesus, etc. . . . .
So off I went to pick up this guy and his MALE lover. The two of them cuddled throughout the trip. They headed off together to what ever it was that the University had planned and, late the next day, I flew them home.
So I guess being gay is okay with god so long as you have a million dollars to give away.
