More than 100 Catholic church officials in Germany came out as LGBT, queer or non-binary on Monday, adding to calls for reform within the crisis-hit church.
Are they trying to confuse us?
What is non-binary? I understand the term binary mathematically. So, I can imagine non-binary meaning not based upon two. But it seems to me that this is not referring to biology. Yet it seems that these individuals don't accept they are what we commonly label by pronouns such as he or she.
Sounds like a term that some have invented to describe a view of life, but not a scientific description of a being. Are there non-binary dogs, fish, birds?
The question is that as we classify things scientifically wouldn't physical characteristics still apply. Male, female, neuter, and then further definition to describe, race, sexual orientation, etc. Thus, wouldn't pronouns he and she be acceptable?

Can't remember where I first heard this old saying that "religion is the last refuge of scoundrels."
As to " non-binary", there are some species that only require one sex to procreate. Also, recently heard of a species that has three distinct sexes. I don't believe any of those belong to any religion, but who am I to say.
As to sexual orientation, people can be prone to anything from straight heterosexual thru LGBT on to necrophilia, animals to inanimate objects and anything you can think of. To put it plainly, people are really weird.

Just a few weeks ago I was a parishioner of a large Catholic Church here until I heard the head priest apologize (on camera)to us at the opening of the mass because some parishioners wrote him a six page letter telling him why they hated him.
He said that he gave permission to a woman parishioner who offered to help assist in giving communion, but did withdraw it at the parishioners request and apologized profusely to us. He withdrew permission and told the woman she could not serve or assist because she was a transgender.
At that moment I realized that even though the Church says God loves all his children it was obvious that the people in this flock don’t. Apparently, the priest in order to keep his job had to bow to the parishioners hatred….and we wonder why there is so much hatred and discord in the world.

To those on this blog who denounce religion: You don't have the right to make blanket statements about other people’s religious choices. Because the religion a person follows is sacred to her/him. So hate speech against religion is offensive to many people and it’s also rude.
Regarding Catholic clergy coming “out” in Germany: Gay and lesbian clergy have existed for a long time, and the clergy are just being honest about it and owning their identity. Don’t really know much about the non-binary thing so I’ll remain respectful.

I do think a valid point was trying to be made.
IMHO, a "church" is a business. A "religion" is a form of common shared beliefs shared by a group of people. "Faith" is the relationship an individual has with their god, gods, infinite something or nothing.
So, to the point, leaving a church because you disagree with the church leaders point of view or practices is a most valid reason indeed. Leaving the religion is something all together different, as is re-evaluating one's Faith.

Just another reason why I oppose ALL religions.
“ The practice of priestly celibacy began to spread in the Western Church in the early Middle Ages. In the early 11th century Pope Benedict VIII responded to the decline in priestly morality by issuing a rule prohibiting the children of priests from inheriting property. A few decades later Pope Gregory VII issued a decree against clerical marriages. The Church was a thousand years old before it definitively took a stand in favor of celibacy in the twelfth century at the Second Lateran Council held in 1139, when a rule was approved forbidding priests to marry. In 1563, the Council of Trent reaffirmed the tradition of celibacy.”
When Did the Catholic Church Decide Priests Should Be Celibate? | History News
Network (https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/696)
My dad, a hospital chaplain, taught chaplaincy to young men preparing to become Catholic priests at St. Thomas Seminary in Denver for a couple decades. He told me, forty years ago, that he estimated that a third of the seminarians were homosexual. (This does NOT mean they were pedophiles, though perhaps some might have been.) So the problem is not just in Germany. It is here, as well. Bear in mind that if a priest is celibate, it doesn’t really matter what his sexual orientation is, as he isn’t using it. Paul wrote, “It is better to marry than to burn [with lust].” It’s no harder or easier for a homosexual man to be celibate than for a heterosexual man to be celibate. There’s an excellent chance that your favorite priest is a homosexual who keeps his mouth shut. Maybe he gives in to his lusts, and maybe he doesn’t. If he doesn’t, then there is no sin.
In the Middle Ages and for centuries before then, monks and nuns were expected to abstain from marriage and sex. Monasteries provided a community where men could live fulfilling lives without having to marry. The same goes for nunneries. Similarly, monastic life provided a safe harbor for men who were gentle, artistic, delicate, or uninterested in warfare. Some of these men were homosexual, but most probably weren’t. There was both homosexual and heterosexual sex occurring in some monasteries, but no marriage, and the sex was not condoned. Most monks were not ordained as priests, but most monasteries had at least one or two priests living there. Those priests were also unmarried.
It was different with parish priests. Until 1139, many parish priests in England had wives and children. After all, being a good parish priest was hard work, and a priest needed someone to cook and keep house for him. If he had a wife with whom he could have sex, he was less tempted by the women in his parish. However, it was natural for a priest to want to have land or money to leave to his wife and children when he died. The Vatican came to realize that it was losing out on a lot of income by letting priests leave their money and land to their dependents instead of leaving it to the church. So the Vatican forbade priests to marry and required married priests to set aside their wives and children. This meant that lots of women and children were left without a means of support. Priests hired housekeepers, some of whom provided “benefits” as well. Some took mistresses who bore them illegitimate children.
I find it sad that so many priests spend their lives struggling with temptations and living a lie, despite feeling called to serve as priests. I can understand these German priests wanting to have their sexual orientations accepted so they don’t always feel like they must keep their true selves hidden.

More than 100 Catholic church officials in Germany came out as LGBT, queer or non-binary on Monday, adding to calls for reform within the crisis-hit church.
Are they trying to confuse us?
What is non-binary? I understand the term binary mathematically. So, I can imagine non-binary meaning not based upon two. But it seems to me that this is not referring to biology. Yet it seems that these individuals don't accept they are what we commonly label by pronouns such as he or she.
Sounds like a term that some have invented to describe a view of life, but not a scientific description of a being. Are there non-binary dogs, fish, birds?
The question is that as we classify things scientifically wouldn't physical characteristics still apply. Male, female, neuter, and then further definition to describe, race, sexual orientation, etc. Thus, wouldn't pronouns he and she be acceptable?
The term has been pretty commonly used in conversational terms for the past 10 years. The concept has existed since the 1700's. It was less widely used, but still not "uncommon" as early as 2003 (almost 20 years ago).

When I was a kid a gay guy kidnapped, raped, and murdered 35 boys and buried them a mile from my house. (search Dean Corll). That was when, at 7 or 8, I realized something was odd.
The New Testament wasn't written by Jesus - it was written in physical form by His followers. Jesus also, quite clearly, is quoted as saying he will return to JUDGE. His followers clearly and literally call out and condemn homosexual behavior in the NT. The behavior spreads disease and is clearly unnatural and odd behavior.
As opposed to heterosexual behavior, which is completely disease free and and has not a single unnatural nor odd kink...

Fairly positive if you choose just one woman in your life you can avoid ANY disease. Whereas if you choose just one fella (and you're male) you will get the exact opposite result. I arrived at this analysis through application of basic IQ.

These “woke” people think EVERYONE MUST accept the way they wish to live and identify themselves. They are doing so to FORCE those who do not believe in this nonsense to accept these new terms and descriptions. When I grew up the word “queer” meant just that; unusual, homosexual [both male and female], abnormal and the list goes on. NOW we must submit to believing in the “woke” lifestyle because THEY SAY we must.
Take this example; companies must hire a diverse workforce in all levels of their worker structure. This means they do not get to hire the best candidate with the best qualifications, but the one who identifies as the correct gender, skin color, ethnic background. The thinking is WE MUST comply with the wishes of the few to satisfy their requirements.
Now let’s look at sports; how many Hispanic, gender identifiers, white, Asian, Pacific Islanders and other groups are represented in the NBA or the NFL? Looks hypocritical to me and the excuse is “they sign the best talent to support the team”. Why then are companies not allowed to do the same? This is pure and utter garbage. I don’t care how someone else lives until these same groups try to shove this crap down my throat!!!
Unfortunately, the Catholic Church has offended ALL its members with this same garbage. They have allowed and covered up the pedophilia that has transpired for YEARS, then hides their finances in order to avoid paying damages to those they were abused. What a bunch of utter hypocrites. All that knew or should have known should be imprisoned and be sexually sanitized.

There are two TRILLION bacteria that gay men must fight off in the human alimentary canal - good luck with your thinking though. lol
And you would be wrong. Monogamy in both cases will protect you...
But thanks for changing the subject...

Good thing heterosexual couples never venture into uncharted waters...
A simple college course in Human Sexuality might raise your "basic" IQ...

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Many Americans refrain from talking about sexual orientation and gender identity or expression because it feels taboo, or because they’re afraid of saying the wrong thing. This glossary was written to help give people the words and meanings to help make conversations easier and more comfortable.
Ally | A person who is not LGBTQ but shows support for LGBTQ people and promotes equality in a variety of ways.
Androgynous | Identifying and/or presenting as neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine.
Asexual | The lack of a sexual attraction or desire for other people.
Biphobia | Prejudice, fear or hatred directed toward bisexual people.
Bisexual | A person emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to more than one sex, gender or gender identity though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree.
Cisgender | A term used to describe a person whose gender identity aligns with those typically associated with the sex assigned to them at birth.
Closeted | Describes an LGBTQ person who has not disclosed their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Coming out | The process in which a person first acknowledges, accepts and appreciates their sexual orientation or gender identity and begins to share that with others.
Gay | A person who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to members of the same gender.
Gender dysphoria | Clinically significant distress caused when a person's assigned birth gender is not the same as the one with which they identify. According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the term - which replaces Gender Identity Disorder - "is intended to better characterize the experiences of affected children, adolescents, and adults."
Gender-expansive | Conveys a wider, more flexible range of gender identity and/or expression than typically associated with the binary gender system.
Gender expression | External appearance of one's gender identity, usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut or voice, and which may or may not conform to socially defined behaviors and characteristics typically associated with being either masculine or feminine.
Gender-fluid | According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a person who does not identify with a single fixed gender; of or relating to a person having or expressing a fluid or unfixed gender identity.
Gender identity | One’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither – how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.
Gender non-conforming | A broad term referring to people who do not behave in a way that conforms to the traditional expectations of their gender, or whose gender expression does not fit neatly into a category.
Gender queer | Gender queer people typically reject notions of static categories of gender and embrace a fluidity of gender identity and often, though not always, sexual orientation. People who identify as "gender queer" may see themselves as being both male and female, neither male nor female or as falling completely outside these categories.
Gender transition | The process by which some people strive to more closely align their internal knowledge of gender with its outward appearance. Some people socially transition, whereby they might begin dressing, using names and pronouns and/or be socially recognized as another gender. Others undergo physical transitions in which they modify their bodies through medical interventions.
Homophobia | The fear and hatred of or discomfort with people who are attracted to members of the same sex.
Intersex | An umbrella term used to describe a wide range of natural bodily variations. In some cases, these traits are visible at birth, and in others, they are not apparent until puberty. Some chromosomal variations of this type may not be physically apparent at all.
Lesbian | A woman who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to other women.
LGBTQ | An acronym for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer.”
Living openly | A state in which LGBTQ people are comfortably out about their sexual orientation or gender identity – where and when it feels appropriate to them.
Non-binary | An adjective describing a person who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary people may identify as being both a man and a woman, somewhere in between, or as falling completely outside these categories. While many also identify as transgender, not all non-binary people do.
Outing | Exposing someone’s lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender identity to others without their permission. Outing someone can have serious repercussions on employment, economic stability, personal safety or religious or family situations.
Pansexual | Describes someone who has the potential for emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree.
Queer | A term people often use to express fluid identities and orientations. Often used interchangeably with "LGBTQ."
Questioning | A term used to describe people who are in the process of exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Same-gender loving | A term some prefer to use instead of lesbian, gay or bisexual to express attraction to and love of people of the same gender.
Sex assigned at birth | The sex (male or female) given to a child at birth, most often based on the child's external anatomy. This is also referred to as "assigned sex at birth."
Sexual orientation | An inherent or immutable enduring emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to other people.
Transgender | An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at birth. Being transgender does not imply any specific sexual orientation. Therefore, transgender people may identify as straight.

As opposed to heterosexual behavior, which is completely disease free and and has not a single unnatural nor odd kink...
Well, heterosexual behavior in healthy individuals, (even the kinky stuff) can produce an offspring. Homosexual sex can not create a pregnancy. That right there explains a lot.

As the original poster, I have to apologize for using a Vatican article to bring up the non-Binary term. It really is the term that I was addressing.
Again, my thoughts are that we all were conceived to start out as male or female. What comes later by desire, medicine, operation, etc does not negate the male, female, he, she definitions. If a male desires to call himself non-Binary, fine. He is still a male. I do not feel compelled to use his definition. I was only trying to address the non-Binary definition.

If a woman finds that her 'man' is really into that kinky stuff all the time then maybe she should ask herself a few questions.

Apologies not necessary. You got the definition of "non-binary" along with an opportunity for an eye opening discussion on the various views and opinions regarding churches, religions and faith. I found it enjoyable to participate. Thank you!
This thread has certainly been on of the days "Hot Topics" and could go on for quite a while as continuing posters share their thoughts.
Keep them coming, folks.

Which has ZERO to do with the conversation... Don't know how that explains anything, but thanks for the tip!
But it does beg the question, how often does heterosexual behavior in TV produce offspring?

Great question!! My guess is "when kids or grand kids with significant others come to visit"?? Or, maybe, Fido and Fifi, um, enjoy each other on a "play date"??

Most homosexuals don't live to the average age of 70. There are not many of them around here in TV. The younger ones might make it to 70 with a 'go-to' supply of penicillin - maybe.
Why?
