More accurately? One statement is 'carte blanche' -- 'I don't have a problem' -- and the other is not.
A problem with some homosexual acts is implied in the first statement by any reasonable reading. That you would have a problem with depraved stuff that goes on eg in park toilet blocks should have safely been assumed. Your escape route via customary, expedient argumentative literalalism should also have been anticipated.
In all the time of ventured into this topic I can't recall ever giving an opinion on 'acts', homosexual or heterosexual
is in another 'not quite right' carte blanche statement league altogether. italicised ever, no less.
Not forgetting that your 'not quite accurate' version of my views came with a sting in the tale: 'admit we don't share a catholic faith on this'.
My redundantly clarified version of your views comes with the same sting.
I always find it instructive when a person, with no more authority than I, comes up with this sort of personal assessment.
And I find it strange that one who rejects the Church's teaching on sexuality and acts as tireless warrior for its 'growth and change' gets shirty when it is pointed out they don't share a catholic faith with another who accepts and rejoices in the beauty and truth of that teaching.
