Walkingdude,
Yes, I'm Catholic, and I practice my faith. Frankly, I try not to think too much about the issues you have raised. I know there's probably no way I can reconcile, justify, or rationalize both the Church's teachings and this lifestyle. So, I try to avoid thinking about it. Keep telling myself God made me this way......surely He knew what he was doing. LMFAO.....I know that's not going to get me far. Would love to discuss it with you. Feel free to PM or IM me. (And yes, it bothers me a lot.)
