Gil Monteiro, a wellknown singer, went public in a LIVE release on his own Instagram profile, declaring that he is gay and “married” to a man for five years.
From FratresInUnum.com When asked if he received Holy Communion, the singer explained: “Yes, I communicate. Doctrine: I follow the thought of St. Thomas, summarized in this sentence below: Any person upon whom the ecclesiastical authorities, ignorant of the true facts, impose a requirement that offends his clear conscience (,) should instead perish in excommunication thy hurt conscience.”
The phrase is effectively not speaking of the legality of receiving Holy Communion, but of someone having an unjustly invincible conscience and putting themselves in a situation where they must violate it to avoid being excommunicated. The argument does not serve the cause, however, for no one with an invincible conscience can declare himself as such in his favor (this would already show that he has a guilty conscience), let alone on a subject so explicit in Scripture , Tradition and Magisterium of the Holy Church.
Regarding Holy Communion, the teaching of St. Thomas is clear: “He who receives this sacrament (of communion) in mortal sin … Q. 80, A. 4, answer).
Regarding sexual acts with people of the same sex, Saint Thomas teaches: “There is a kind of lust in which there is a cause of depravity that makes the sexual act bad… …such as B. Coitus involving inappropriate sex, both between men and a man and between a woman and a woman” (Summa Theologica, IIII, q. 154, a. 11, reply).

It is quite unfortunate that such public demonstrations are designed to promote sin and its normalization. Many end up deeming everything prestigious and end up giving up the effort to behave according to the requirements of Christian holiness.

Can a gay person be a good Catholic?
In our society, the number of people who publicly admit their homosexuality is increasing and increasing. Would there be room for these people in the Catholic Church since the Church has already officially opposed homosexual practices?
The answer to this question is YES! What the Church condemns is not the tendency but the homosexual practice. Anyone with homosexual inclinations can be not only a good Catholic, but also a GREAT SAINT as long as they stick to the life of the community and strive to follow God and His commandments.
As a good shepherd, Jesus does not reject anyone, just as he did not reject the harlot who came at his feet and repented of her sins. But on the other hand, he expects a sincere conversion from man, that is, a change of life, so that he at least tries not to return to the same sins.
The Catholic Church, like her Supreme Shepherd Jesus Christ, welcomes everyone as a loving mother! She also welcomes people who have had or have problems with homosexual practices, but shows the seriousness of this error and calls her children to conversion because it directly contradicts God’s law and the dignity of our Christian nature.
The Church welcomes sinners but exhorts all to turn from their sins in order to be saved; The idea that in order to show charity we must welcome people and accept their sins is wrong, for sin is the denial and exclusion of God from your life, therefore there can be no true love where God is excluded. This sentimental moral relativism is widespread in our day to justify sin and deceive God’s children, causing them to persist in error instead of seeking true conversion.
“Gay people are called to chastity. Through the virtues of selfcontrol, nurturers of inner freedom, sometimes through the support of disinterested friendship, through prayer and sacramental grace, they can and must, step by step and with determination, approach Christian perfection.”
§ 2359 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
Through the organization of the Church, Jesus Christ gave us the means to be saved, and this is possible through the sacraments. However, in order for us to have access to the sacraments, we must follow the lead of the Church.
Below we list some points related to sexuality that raise many doubts, both in heterosexuals and in people with homosexual tendencies in general.
CHURCH ORIENTATION FOR PEOPLE WITH HETEROSEXUAL TRENDS:
>> Living chastity according to your status <
If you live celibately, you live celibacy, i.e. sexual abstinence.
If you are single, observe sexual abstinence and wait for the sacrament of marriage.
If married, live chastity within marriage, maintain relationships only with the woman, without using contraceptive methods.
Be that as it may, sex outside of marriage is a grave sin. Anyone who commits a serious sin and does not repent and go to confession runs the risk of being condemned to hell.
CHURCH ORIENTATION FOR PEOPLE WITH GAY TRENDS:
>> Living chastity according to your status <
If you are single, observe sexual abstinence.
If the vocation is celibacy, it is enough to practice celibacy, that is, sexual abstinence.
CONCLUSION: If the homosexual person lives chastely and strives to obey the other commandments of the Church, confessing frequently according to the directions of the Holy Church, he is a Christian like the Pope and on the right path to heaven. . .
CAN A PERSON OF GAY SUPPLY RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE WITH A PERSON OF THE SAME GENDER?
According to Church teaching, there can be no marriage between people of the same sex because homosexual practice, or as it is called by the Church, impure sin against nature, is considered one of the four (4) sins that cry out to heaven and around ask for revenge. Therefore, it is impossible for the Church’s interpretation of this matter to change.
CAN A MAN WITH GAY INDICATIONS RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF THE ORDERS?
The Church, according to her rules and wisdom, cannot admit into the seminaries and priestly ordinations those who practice homosexuality, have homosexual tendencies (or as the Church Catechism says: objectively disordered tendencies) or support the socalled GAY (LGBT) culture. . ).
The sins that cry out to heaven and ask God for vengeance are four:
1. Voluntary Murder;
2. Impure sin against nature; (homosexual acts, sodomy, anal or oral sex also heterosexual etc.)
3. oppression of orphans and widows;
4. Not paying wages to those who work.
Why is it said that these sins demand vengeance from God?
It is said that these sins demand vengeance from God because the Holy Spirit says so and because their wickedness is so serious and obvious that it causes God Himself to punish them with the most severe penalties.
