What Mother Teresa Thought About 'Gay People'

In this segment of the Matt Fradd show, I ask Dan what he thinks of Gay people. His answer, he says, is the same Mother Teresa gave...

As a homosexual who has spent his entire life chaste, I can say that although I struggle with soul crushing loneliness everyday and feel an immense void in my life without ever having had a romantic partner or even a single romantic interaction with anyone I feel blessed knowing I am on the path God wants me to on. It's been a true struggle to bottle up my feelings and prevent any expression of my romantic desires my entire life when all the straight people around me seem defined by their love life. I experience anger and jealousy as well because of that and have to repent every single day of it.

People are not on a quest for truth, they are on a quest for happiness. And therein lie the problem.

Mother Teresa is a Saint and would never condone sin. She loved the sinner, hated the sin.

I was with Mother Teresa in San Francisco when two people who worked for a well known published gay magazine had visited her. They kept insisting that there relationship was love. They wanted her approval. Mother kept shaking her head telling them that this was not love.

No catholic wishes a person with same sex attraction to be lonely. I pray that all people struggling with loneliness find beautiful lasting and emotionally intimate friendships. Chastity is difficult in this current age but it’s not impossible.

You mean beloved children of God! Absolutely perfect. A reminder that salvation does not come because we are good, it comes because God is good.

"I want to invite you into the fullness of your dignity as a beloved child of God."
This is such a wonderful sentence for so many occasions! Thank you, I'm really amazed by that.

This is a lesson for me. I focus too much on what I believe (the "rules) instead of just loving people. That's truly the core of what we believe, so that's what I need and we all need to do more of. Thanks for this short video I was able to watch between classes :)

When asked this question I don’t tell people what I think. What I think doesn’t ultimately matter. I tell them what God thinks by reading what he’s said through scripture. Simple as that.

[nikokapanen]

"By their fruits you will know them" Jesus said. So the beloved children of God are the ones who seek God and follow His ways, not the ones who glorify perversion.

I was FORTUNATE to actually escort Mother from India to Roma when I lived at Hellenikon ABS Greece...
Once a week, our military passenger/cargo aircraft would fly from our USAF Air Force base in Greece to India, then to Roma, and back to Greece.
One time, Mother asked if she could ride on our plane to Roma.
I was asked to be on that aircraft and Escort Mother.
Mother had one request... in the bathroom's and elsewhere in the small passenger section of the aircraft, could we please cover any mirrors? OK, I covered them.
Once we arrived in India, as the cargo was being unloaded, I walked to the air terminal to receive Mother and a couple of her sisters, and escorted them to the aircraft. Once the aircraft became airborne and we were on our way to Roma, I just had to ask Mother, why did you ask that the Mirrors be covered?
Mother's reply... We are not to look upon our OWN REFLECTIONS, but instead, look upon the faces of OTHERS, so that we may find the face of GOD in others.. ...
This opened up our conversations during that trip... and I had a wonderful experience meeting Mother.
One thing though, from her talk, we are not to HATE one another, we are to show LOVE, COMPASSION and PITY.
Those that refuse to come to GOD, we are to PITY, but show them Love and Compassion in hopes that they will remember and one day do the WILL OF GOD...

“The Church never imposes” you might wanna brush up on your world history

Just one question: Why did it take Joan of Arc 500 years to be declared a saint, yet with Mother Teresa, it happened virtually overnight?

Remember, while we are ALL God's creation and deeply loved by Him, that does not automatically make us His children (John 1:12)

[panemuy]

It is not you or Mother Teresa says, it is what the Bible says.

Freedom is not being a slave to anything, especially our passions. If you can be in front of your favorite food (or cigarettes, alcohol, pornography, etc) and walk away from it, that’s true freedom.

[Strive]

There is this whole idea that is you disagree with someone's lifestyle that you HATE them. Speaking the TRUTH is love, not hate. Hate would be lying to them and telling them it's okay to sin.

Sodom was a literal place, you should teach this.

[JohnR.T.B.]

"But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife."
~ Mark 10 : 6-7

Mother Teresa was full of mercy. Mercy had to come first
