"Priest made me gay" sues for $5million

I'm not sure where this lands for me since it infers that an action of someone else made him gay. |
Excellent! Either the Church cannot concede that homosexuality is a genetic trait; therefore, the environment must be to blame.

Oh noes he gave him teh gay!
I wonder how the many activist groups view this. If he 'wins' it would mean that to the courts, being gay was a negative trait, like being maimed in some way. To win is to lose and to lose is to win (on many levels here for both groups). |
This is a stupid case to take to trial. It isn't a matter of legality to decide whether people can be 'turned' gay - a ruling that showed in the eyes of the law that homosexuality is brought on by the behaviour of others might open lawsuits where lesbians and gays can sue their parents for dressing them in inappropriately coloured pyjamas. Pure lunacy - it should be thrown out of court.

Well Ahem...
Mmmm... A very contaversial subject indeed. but yet the answer is simple.
For a liberalist would blame Cannon law and say "Because of celebasy and other religious abstanances caused the priest to break out in liberation of his sexual irritation" For a pantheist would say "That he cannot sue God." For an atheist would say " how unlucky he was to be molested" An existentialist would probably say "he must be gay" and an agnostic would look at this and say nothing because he does not know where he stands ethically... What's my point?.. well it's obvious this issue deals with ethics and moral law. However it's sinful nature. What would a Christian say? It is quite clear to see that this priest had an evil in him that had a mighty sway over his sexual orientation. For the priest must have spent a lot of hours within the church with other men. Learning from each other and growing an almost brotherly bond between them. I would even question if there might have been acts of homosexuality within the priesthood because of celebatical law... we don't know. But this cannon law and the celebatical law within the Catholic church is a huge danger. If the church does follow the Written word of God then they should consider 1 Corinthians 7 v 9. This man, "J. David Enright IV" can still sue the Catholic church. but then only the Catholic church. for it is only the Catholic church that reserves the cannon law and rejects truth of the Word of God which they claim to believe in. To sue the Whole Church including the evangelical Christian would be an act of sueing God. Fundementally it is incorrect to do that because the evangelical church does not follow Cannon Law. However it is an unfortunate thing to happen to J. David Enright IV. but he still expresses a desire to get married and have Four children in boarding school. Why Four and why boarding school? It is clear that he has this desire to marry and that he has been pondering on this subject for a long long time.. The past is the past i agree. But the devil loves to shove it in our faces and make us frozen with fear unable to move on, and in this case not being accepted by the opposite sex. The devil probably told this guy he must be gay because he enjoyed it so much or he could be gay by choice. Sueing the church is only (in my opinion) a cry for acceptance or attention. His longing for a change in his life expresses this idea. Final thought: Money will not digress the past nor will it ever change the desire to get married. Only forgiveness can do that... |
Interesting news....

it boils down to this...the trauma, and the legitimate source of the suit is the molestation, which is inarguably a tort under the law as well as a criminal act. from the sound of it, he sought relationships with both men and women, but had intense shame and guilt around his gay relationships...which if they were associated with abuse a fairly predictable response. I think a court would have a hard time coming up with a finding of damage specifically for the claim of a changed orientation, but surely could for the abuse. |
Regardless of homosexuality, priests should not go around molesting kids. Period. Actually, IMO, no one should go around molesting children, in my opinion.

Sure it's obvious, but it seems like it gets lost in all the "extraneous noise".
Ah...wet water......love it. Still, it's kind of a weird case: to claim someone "made" you gay. I guess I don't see it. |

Maybe being gay made him successful in his ad career and he should thank the guy!
Seriously, if he was genuinely molested, that's unfortunate, but I doubt he was "turned gay". Heck, he's a "scion" and a "IV" - probably as queer as a 3 dollar bill to begin with. ;) |

Bigot. |
There was actually another article about someone who was molested by a priest and was mute in the paper today. Between this and the child support one maybe people will start suing their parents for XYZ reasons...
