  • Can I still go to Mass if I'm living in a same-sex relationship? Is there hope for me in the Church?
    Executive director of Courage International, Father Philip Bochanski, answers some common questions from Catholics who experience same-sex attractions.
    Questions addressed in this video:
    0:06- I'm LGBTQ+ and am living with my same-sex partner. Does that mean the Church hates me, or that I'm going to Hell?

    8:27- Is there hope for me in the Church?

    Oh, and if you truly want to speak about "grave sins," I can tell you about my experience with Discourage. The priest who ran the local chapter in NY State got his picture in the papers in 2018. This was because he was allegedly inappropriate with teenage males. The allegations dated back to the 1970s and the church hierarchy covered his behind for DECADES. But his cover was FINALLY blown and the truth came out. One man committed suicide. I wonder how many others had catastrophic experiences with this group. Stop condemning same sex couples who love each other.

    First of all, Father, you are right-on. Your comment at 2:20 about integration of sexuality and spirituality can be done, I have done it, and it is liberating. Second, your comments apply just as well to heterosexual relationships. Well said.

      Nope. He's egregiously wrong.

      All he's saying is, "don't do it, don't do it, don't do it" (or else)! There's no need to try and dress it up.
