9. Of course church says it sees celibacy as a good thing. But difference between vocational celibacy of priest/nun & forced celibacy.

10. Priest/nun are celibate in imitation of Christ but gays/lesbians are enjoined to be celibate just because they are born that way.

@HeerJeet @lurkeriatipsos Which is not incoherent at all when you remember that Christianity actually hates gay people. -

@HeerJeet Worth noting that church's historic position is that celibacy is highest human vocation, marriage second-best. -
@DouthatNYT "it's better to marry than to burn with lust" -- yes. But that's changed with a more positive affirmation of marriage. - Show replies
