		<description>&lt;i&gt;So, do you believe that Ted Haggard is actually â€œcuredâ€ of his â€œconditionâ€?&lt;/i&gt;

I need to be careful on this one, because God and Mr. Haggard are the only ones who know for sure. That being said, given the time and what I have seen and heard of his attitude towards sex, it would have to be a miraculous healing. 
I believe there is the possibility in the healing of ssa, but I also believe that it's a struggle which doesn't happen over night. There are also many who couragously carry their burden as a "thorn in the flesh", but never act on their desires, which is a sign of grace. 
Overall, I believe the healing of ssa is more of a conversion of the heart than an aseptic scrubbing of the mind.</description>

		<description>Kris -

I agree with you in a sense.  I think that this issue is simply a very stark manifestation of a larger problem though.  The larger problem is a general ignorance of the faith and a relativist morality which arises from legal positivism.  As with many of the other problems we have among Catholics today, I would suggest that the "new evangelization" is required to transform Catholics such that they are able to understand and accept the authentic truth about the human person and the truth about what leads to authentic personal fulfillment and what leads to supernatural death.</description>

		<description>So, do you believe that Ted Haggard is actually "cured" of his "condition"?  I kind of agree with Father B (although not in such descriptive terms) that it may not be so.</description>

		<description>How timely!  I myself have just finished a response on my blog to a "gay catholic" defense of homosexuality.  I feel like this is the number one hurdle we need to overcome in the Church today or it will take us all down with it!  Too many catholics in the pews are apathetic to these issues.  They not only don't feel any type of urgency in correcting these errors, but many don't consider them errors at all!  Good catholics and especially good catholic priests need to do a much better job of explaining human sexuality and God's plan for it in our lives!  The future of the Church depends on it!</description>

		<description>The only "little heart" that we should "embrace and cherish" is the SACRED HEART OF JESUS! Enough with the egoism already!</description>
