What is in it for a gay man in his twenties seeking a man aged 50 to 90? Nothing in common, except a bizarre psychological daddy fix by the younger, or lust by the older. When I was in my 20s there was no way I fancied people decades older. Grindr etc are not relationship or dating sites. Pure no strings attached. What normal attractive gay man in his 20s, who could have anyone he wanted, go for someone decades older?

They brought to mind earlier blogs about a young clergyman in the early stages of his priestly ministry who suffered verbal abuse, mental distress, denigration and humiliation at the hands of older more experienced men.

I promised I would mend my ways and even shed a few crocodile tears. 48 hours later it was business as usual. In my little world I was invincible. Logic had nothing to do with it. Is unhealthy sex like drink or drugs an addiction for some? Eventually I had to pay the piper. What I am saying is the church needs to be proactive in dealing with these guys. If not society needs to call them to. bookFly on Th Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520198020314816276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-18570450895567923042017-01-13T10:37:24.791+00:002017-01-13T10:37:24.791+00:00He prob gone to live with R Coyle

While your honesty regarding the psychological assessment is admirable, it is not surprising that you are being told that you are sexually immature. The Catholic Church teaches that masturbation is not a healthy expression of sexuality, and indeed the catechism describes the practice as disordered because it separates sexual pleasure from its procreative and unitive purposes. As a priest you will be expected to be chastely celibate. You may not agree with this, but this is what the Church expects from her priests - sadly, as we have seen, some fall terribly, but you do not even have the intention to live chastely at the moment. You are essentially setting yourself up as your own magisterium, deciding which parts of Church teaching you will accept and which ones you will not. <br /><br />The men who are getting "through the net", whose actions are indeed sickening, should not be your standard. Please, if you feel called to priesthood, do not aspire to be merely "better" than these who are getting through the net - your standard is Christ, and you must aspire to be like Him. If the Lord is calling you to be a priest, He is calling you to live in fidelity and sincerity according to the guidance of the Church. Our Lord, if He is calling you, is calling you to greatness, to holiness - I don't believe that you should be as quick to say "there is little I can do about it". A good step might be to at least desire to be chaste, acknowledging that you may fall, but with the Lord's help you will get up and try again. Finally, to say that something is natural does not mean it is not sinful - we are sinful on account of our fallen nature, and sin often appeals to us but we can feel rotten after it, which makes some despair of the Lord's mercy. It does not mean, however, that we don't still try to avoid it. <br /><br />If you feel called, pray for the grace to embrace virtuously all that that call demands of you.
