Yes, Kevin, your position is clear enough, and I don't intend to dissuade you from it. (Though you might deserve some refutation, if in fact you are one of those many Catholics who have the bad habit of talking nice about "the gift of life, given by God," and about how "to deny another the opportunity of life is sinful," when in fact you don't care at all about the gift of life being given to countless nonhuman living creatures, many of whom in huge numbers are killed to serve the desires of thoughtless, self-serving humans.)

The point is, many of us Catholics DO think that the church's teachings are in error on some matters, including sexuality and marriage, gravely so, being based on false information and prejudice, and also on a mistaken sense of mission to arrange social relationships. Therefore it would violate our conscience, founded in the love of God and the gospel, to put aside our honest and honorable objections, and to obey such flawed teachings.
