There have been a lot of child abuse cases and sex scandals within the church among high ranking bishops/cardinals – how can this be if these bishops and cardinals are supposed to be the people closest to god, who are supposed to be gods representatives and chosen by God. I’ve heard so many people leaving the church because of this problem. What should we, as a Catholic say when facing this question?
神父,您好!想問的是性別認同或變性的問題。首先,我的理解教會是不接受變性的。因此,當你自己不喜歡自己是男/女,教會都不接受當事人去用手術改變,那怎去牧養他/她們呢?有時我們會話我們應該以真實的自己去敬拜、懇求主耶穌,那麼,我天生真的不喜歡自己本來的性別,那我應怎去渡聖善的生活?
My son recently told me he is a gay. I’ve been struggling with the pain myself as well as how I should react to him so that it won’t hurt our relationship. I have been asking God to forgive me and my son. I am very against the gay relationship, it’s not God’s plan.
自初戀以來,我就是和同性一起,因為感到比較安全,及自在,和男性一起,總是不能舒暢,和接受他們。但也因為知道天主教不接受同性戀,糾結了好多年,近年,終於我也領洗了。好想問,這傾向是天主給我的,為何真心愛人也有錯?這令我很有罪惡感。連告解也不敢提。因我現在有固定伴侶,沒有濫交,不想也不忍離開她,不知怎樣好。你可給我些意見嗎?
我在七年前成為一名教友 ,第一次聽到一個信仰是關於愛的信仰 , 所以那時候我很感動。但在這七年間,我有兩年離開了教會, 因為我常常糾結在我的罪上面。我是個同志, 常常會糾結在性愛和娛樂用藥上面 ,所以我不知道神父您能給我什麼意見。其實我很痛苦 ,有時候信仰變成我的罪惡感。
我和丈夫都是天主教徒,而我有幾位從小就認識的好朋友是女同性戀者。其中一位打算來加拿大結婚,她希望我為她們預備婚禮事宜。程神父,她們是我的好朋友,作為天主教徒,我知道應該反對她們,但我做不到。我很矛盾,也知道我丈夫不會喜歡這事,我應怎樣做才對?
