    S06.E27: Truth Be Told

    in Teen Mom

    As someone who went to rehab for an addiction to Xanax (prescribed for anxiety and panic disorder) Ryan definitely could have been under the influence of the tranquilizer which suppresses your Central Nervous System, as do opioids and heroin.    Fact - Benzodiazepines are second only to heroin for withdrawal (opioids are easier to kick and go through the withdrawal process than Xanax).  

    I hope anyone seeking treatment finds the help they so desperately need.

    Yes, but then the question remains whether the Catholic Church supports gay marriage, in which case gay people are still affected in a way that straight people aren't.

     

    IIRC the official stance is that they're still opposed, although I think they've softened up a bit recently? At least in terms of the rhetoric used. 

     

    You are correct.  However, my response was in response to natyxg's question.  That said, to your point, It saddens me that I do not think that I will see the Catholic Church changing its position on gay marriage.  It was absolutely wonderful to hear the Pope's response to the question on homosexuality, "Who am i to judge?".  Hope springs enternal everyone, especially those self-reported Christians, will get on board with love, peace and compassion without exception or exclusion.  Luke 6:37 is pretty clear, after all.

    The unfortunate priest issues aside, the Catholic Church's position remains that homosexuality itself is not sinful - it is engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage.  The same sin a heterosexual commits when engaging in sexual relations outside of marriage.
