Why somebody has a same-gender attraction... who can say? But what matters is the fact that we know we can control how we behave, and it is behavior which is important.

It is comparing apples and oranges to refer to the love that the Savior expressed for all mankind, for every person, for every man and woman and child, with the doctrine related to marriage.

The problem with lethargy is that doing nothing validates the fear that nothing can be done.

I know If I score we're going to win the match.

I have to enjoy every moment.

I'm finishing my Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance history.
