It was quite a number of years ago that I was sitting at a shopping mall when I struck up a casual conversation with two ladies holding hands. Besides being lesbians, they also added that they practice celibacy. That was something new to me, to see a combination of lesbianism and celibacy.
It was only recently that I found that lesbians practice celibacy because of their Catholicism. So can someone here explain—Is lesbianism excused in Catholicism if it uses celibacy?? Hopefully I can get some clarification.
Peace to all,
Logically or Faithfully there are two answers. What the Church says and what logic with respect to the logical formulas of the Wondrous Mysteries of the Faith becoming again in all One Holy Spirit Family One God in being says, Logically.
Faithfully we cannot judge, logically if Faith says be celibate then logically why would one want to remain in a position that may cause sin faithfully? Logic calls it a sin where faith wants to call it a sin, maybe? but cannot judge, looking at a woman not your wife in a lustful way is the exact same sin as committing adultery, But now I tell you: anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart.
Logic says coming to church every Sunday will fix sin, but faith cannot say because faith cannot judge, other people, only themselves.
So logic generalizes to logical formulas and calls it as sin where faith cannot judge and cannot call it a sin.
In all rationality, we go to church every Sunday and make a firm of amendment in Confession and in hearing the Words of Absolution from the Priest become forgiven to be able to become again glorified and transfigured in One Holy Family re-sanctifying the condition of our soul and through the logical Co-Redemption powers through the New Eve in the Catholic Church for Jesus in the New Adam becoming through The Christ for all From Sacrifice through Penance becoming forgiven convincing one logically to become more faithful, Logically.
And we know we cannot preach or proselytize as Catholic but to evangelize through the logical formulas of the faith for all logically becoming more faithful by preaching and proselytizing and logically calling preaching and proselytizing a different name of the same, evangelizing logical formulas.
Peace always,

May I recommend to you the documentary, The Third Way? It came out a number of years ago. In it, they interview individuals who have struggles with their same-sęx attractions and their Catholic Christian Faith.
It does a great job of explaining our view on this subject.
Another great resource is COURAGE.
Hope this helps : )

It’s not the kind of body we are born with - but how we use it that’s important. A cripple can’t runa race, and a blind man can’t read the Bible. If two people love each other, let him who is perfect throw the first stone.
Two celebate lesbians who live in love and mutual respect are closer to God than the Catholic who has sex with his wife for entertainment .
Spiritual life is about living for the pleasure of God instead of living for the pleasure of our senses.
All the laws are guidelines…….except one……”Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might.” Anyone who can do that is ahead of all of us.
Love is not about being a “good” robot. Love means having a feeling in the heart that says, “Oh my Lord, I can’t think of anything other than how to be pleasing to You, with every thought, word and deed.”
Anyone here living like that? Or are we busy making judgments on two clebate lesbians who are holding hands?
