Note the Response of the Community...

That St. Joseph's has a couple of Leviticus 18:22 alumnae is not really a news story.  What is remarkable is the approbation of their story by their fellow alumni.  The school, it seems, initially tried to exclude them from a contest, "How I met my Hawkmate," but then caved.  (read more here - not for tender eyes)

There is also a remarkable story to be considered in their seared consciences as contrasted with the more tender consciences of the men in our previous story. They have pride in their sin, not shame, whilst their Colombian counterparts were absolutely overcome (in Judas-like fashion) with shame.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is very gentle with homosexuality:

Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

But in the meantime, they've always got the sacrament of reconciliation.

TFan,

I have tender eyes. Can you provide a short PG-13 synopsis/summary of what happened?

Two women consider themselves mates and want to marry some day. They received an award for telling the story of how they met (apparently at St. Joe's).

Oh. What's the PG-13 story of the Colombian priests?

At least one of them contracted at least two painful, terminal incurable consequences for the actions that they were engaged in. After apparently being unable to persuade one another to go bungee jumping without the bungee, they settled on the suicide for hire option, which worked.
