Over a year ago, I officially left the Mormon/LDS “church” to become Catholic, the only true religion that I was baptized into in 2022. Even though I no longer buy what my former religion is selling, and even though Mormons welcome child molesters while banning bloggers, surely we can all agree that homosexuals, bisexuals and #LGBT whatever else have absolutely NO place in Mormonism or Catholicism.
These people have no business in any church unless they are ready to abandon their disgusting ways and truly repent.
I may have to put up with those perverted deviants at work, but in my personal life, I avoid them at all costs because they’re evil. They know what they’re doing is wrong and disgusting, but they persist in spite of that knowledge.
I will never do business with one and, despite knowing CPR/AED, First Aid and Narcan, I will stand idle when and if I encounter one in peril.
They are not worthy of my assistance.
Here in New York state, I can refuse to provide anyone medical assistance, despite my training, for any reason or no reason, unless I caused the injury. In that case, the only thing I’d be required to do is call 911. Beyond that, I am capable of simply “forgetting” my training and I can just claim that I froze and temporarily rendered myself incapable of assisting in any way.
There is no law, at least in this state, that would penalize me for refusing to assist someone on the basis of their sexual preference or anything related to that. Do I have a moral or ethical obligation to assist? I would say that I do not as I am not a doctor, nurse or a first responder.
Do I have a religious obligation? I don’t know. I don’t think the Catholic Church can require me to assist. I really don’t think that Christ mandated rendering medical aid.
Whatever the case in regards to obligation, if I found myself denying aid to these people, I would be able to sleep at night.
What cannot be denied is this: those detestable desires and behaviors are disgusting and evil and are mortal sins. Even mere attraction to the same gender is a sin. But I have good news! Both religions teach forgiveness and repentance, even in appallingly evil cases that involve non-heterosexual desires and actions.
These people still have a chance to abandon their “relationships,” but we all know that they won’t.
