I have just published a book called "New Skins for Old Wine" based on parts of this website.
Traditionalist Catholic and gay? 
Committed to the Tridentine Mass and homosexual
Concerned about orthodox belief, but committed to personal integrity and not just willing to toe the Vatican "party line"?

This is a great group. It is the best group for gay Catholic Christians that I have found on Yahoo! You will find commentary from the most liberal to the most conservative and everything in between. It is one of the most open and balanced groups that you could have found on yahoo!

I am both a catholic and a man "suffering from" same sex attraction. Why am I writing "suffering from"?  Just because it is a very confusing state, and being an honest guy it is not an easy one for me. Only a few months ago I was strictly obedient to the "official teaching of the Church" but having browsed some web sites I have come to understand that the teaching is not as well based as it is presented. 

I have many doubts in my head. Maybe I will enclose them to my next posts and someone will help me to find the truth. I feel the lack of a wise, sensitive and responsible guy next to me. I am really confused on these matters. I hope you will understand when I describe how I feel as a battle between emotions and reason.

I must say that I have belonged to a few Yahoo groups in the past, but this one strikes me as the most stimulating and the most rewarding.  I think, too often, we don't tell each other enough how we appreciate the koinonia in the faith that we share, even though it be e-koinonia.  I know you'll have a whale of a time here.
[Quote from a clerical member (November 2005)]

I've had a chance to see where this site of faith [the Yahoo! group - ed] has wandered. It often reminds me of the journey of the People of Israel during the forty year Exodus. I suppose there was no straight route, nor do we read of  Moses asking for directions from God or anyone, (a male thing handed down from male to male I suppose). But unlike the Exodus this site does become and Island of faith for those willing to walk on its roller coaster of answers from multiple fronts. 

How many more aren't we hearing from? How many more won't share their faith with us, thus enabling us and them to grow? We are much less then we could be if all shared. In the Eucharist we are invited to share the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our Sins and those of the entire world.  Everyone shares there... why not here?

The amount of Priests and Bishops on here astounds me, for most share their walk of faith with the faithful, no matter who they are. Some have chosen to leave the path of the apostle, but are still welcome here. Even those away from being amongst the faith of the Church grant us their wisdom, spiced with the wisdom of whatever roads they walk presently, and to their wisdom we should be attentive.
