Hurt by the Church Mar 1, 1998 I have been hurt by the Church who did not accept me being gay when I was healthy -- why should I think it would be any different now that I have AIDS? Jim, NY |

Response from Father DeMartini
 Dear Jim, I am sorry that you experienced any pain or disappointment from a church you placed such hope in. I understand that when we trust that love and support will be there, no matter what the circumstances, disappointment and anger can be deep and long-lasting. I hope that you will let me recommend to you several people in your area who, I believe, will be the embodiment of what Jesus called all of us in the Church to be -- in honoring that each person is created by God's loving hand and deserves respect and care no matter what their orientation or circumstances. Please let me know if you would like name and phone numbers for several people in your area. Blessings! Fr. Rod |
