Nathan Turowsky just wrote an excellent article for Where Peter Is titled, “Double Standards, Hyper-Suspicion, and Sexuality As Idol.” He began with this observation about how gay men and women are often viewed in the Church: “There is often a double standard in many Catholic spaces in how gay and straight Catholics are perceived to engage in sexual sin. Many commentators seem to treat being or identifying as gay as being inherently unchaste or as presenting a uniquely strong or even insurmountable obstacle to chastity. Chastity itself then becomes the sole virtue of importance when discussing or interacting with gay Catholics. The perception that this creates is that lacking or not cultivating this virtue is the overriding problem for gay people, something that is not widely believed about practically any subset of straight Catholics.”
At issue is the exercise of an absolute power; that is, of God, of one's simultaneous authorisations of one's accountability and amends as to whether inseparable and qualitatively equal for celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ and male female marriage vowed to God. Consecrated celibate marriage is not a "higher vocation" (TTMHS, PCF, 1995, 35) than male female marriage?
