Help me tell my Gay BFF that I’m converting without her feeling betrayed
I have a question that I want to talk to my priest about, but since I can’t talk to him for a few days, I was hoping other people who have talked to priest my comment on this with some answers. I’m in the process of converting to Catholicism.
My best friend is a woman and she’s married to a woman who literally left Catholicism because she’s gay. So her wife has very mixed feelings on the church. I think she wishes she could still be part of it and feels rejected so there’s a lot of hurt there.
How am I supposed to tell my best friend that I’m converting to the religion that broke her wife’s heart? How can I explain it when she thinks the faith is against the very person she is (her perception). I don’t want to get into all of that theology because 1) I’m not an expert and 2) at the end of the day I don’t understand why it’s a sin. Ive confessed this but yeah, I don’t understand why sex has to be open to life. I’ve just decided that that’s one of the things I’m not going to understand while I’m on earth. I pray about it a lot.
