Given the intense nature of the debate surrounding same-sex
marriage (and similar cultural issues), it seems good to call back to mind that when the Orthodox Church
criticizes same-sex attractions, she does so not out of hatred for those
people, but out of a desire that they be healed of a passion that will lead
them away from the path of salvation.
Everyone has these corrupted passions:
reading too much, talking too much, eating too little or too much, a desire for more than one wife or
more than one husband (polygamy/manywedhood), and on and on. We all are in need of healing; let us all run
to the Church where we may receive it.
Mr Nathan Duffy at the On Behalf of All web site has a post on this subject (much better
than these few poor words). Head on over
and read it for some good insights.
