		<description>The church's stand on sexual deviancy has always puzzled me.  What is it exactly that they find so morally devoid in it?  I find it disturbing that you can be the most giving, kind, loving person in world who devotes his or her life to charity and good works, but if word gets out that you like to dress up in a gimp suit on the days you're not building homes for the poor you're going straight to hell for being immoral.

Also, an amusing aside.  Remember that whole Desperate Housewives brouhaha?  These doctors and nurses are proving their writers right.</description>

		<description>their stance in homosexuality is quite ridiculous.

the church thinks it's ok to be gay as long as you don't engage in gay sex.

kind of like saying its ok to be a vegetarian as long as you dont eat vegetables.</description>

		<description>First of all, Dakay is not a bishop. And Dakay do not represent the church. He represents his local archdiocese, which is an independent body within the church.

But still, I think the point here is how the church's stance on homosexuality made Dakay what it is.

I think its about time the church become a bit open-minded.  Vatican II clearly wasn't enough.</description>

		<description>Benj - be careful when you use the word "church", it denotes the whole congregation, not just the administration. (learned that from high school) It might offend those who don't necessarily share the opinion.</description>

		<description>Aajao, he was representing the church.

And yes, it's a free country so he better be ready for people's reactions. I hate it when people invoke  the "freedom of expression" shiite when people start criticizing someone. Those other people are also exercising their right to express so it's fair game.</description>

		<description>â€œPeople are blaming the doctors for what they did, but I think they should blame the patient for what he did,â€ he said.- Achilles Dakay

Ugh. That's just wrong. This kind of statements are real reflective of my displeasure on majority of the Catholic's beliefs (and practices.) They sure like to condemn people for the most ridiculous reasons. And to think they are also the ones who'd most likely to reason the "Those who have not sinned cast the first stone" propaganda. 

I'm theist. But I can't totally say I'm Catholic anymore (except in forms.)I've long abandoned "my obligations." It's people like the holier-than-thou monsignor who's made me stick to my god on my own without needing them to whisper bullshit in my ear. I've had enough of priests really, who in my experience, have done nothing anyway but violate their religion's beloved tenets.</description>

		<description>I think what should be done is to suspend the license of the docs and nurse and send them to boot camp. Then canister should be recovered from the crime scene and shoved up Mr. Dakay's ass.</description>

		<description>Well, I won't be an apologist for Bishop Dakay because I found his opinions utterly disappointing. While I'm a Catholic, I don't necessarily subscribe to every pronouncement any member of the clergy says.</description>
