Catholics admit: we still can't stop thinking about sex all the time...

Catholic bishops tell gays to remain celibate - Yahoo! News:
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops said on Tuesday that gay men and women should be welcomed in the church but that those who engage in homosexual activity should not receive Communion.

Guidelines adopted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops encouraged gays and lesbians to participate in the church, while reaffirming long-standing church doctrine that same-sex activity, as with any extramarital sex, is inherently sinful.

"Because homosexual acts cannot fulfill the natural end of human sexuality they are never morally acceptable," said Bishop Arthur Serratelli, who headed the committee that crafted the guidelines. "Such act furthermore do not lead to true human happiness."
What's next? "Bishops tell Catholic politicians to actually tell the truth!"

Courtesy of the Onion in a future issue, I'm sure.

Seriously, once again, American right-wing nutcases have decided that sex is sin and bad and evil if used for any reason other than procreation, which actually is AGAINST what Jesus said. More importantly, they have decided that it's the only sin that matters. You can lie, you can kill, you can steal, and not be necessarily refused at the table, but sex?

Gee, guys, obsess much?
