Dan Schutte Is Gay

this is one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever seen...

it's been assumed for centuries that Michelangelo was a homosexual, should we bleach the Sistene Chapel?

just because a person struggles (or even currently gives into their struggle) with same-sex attraction doesn't make everything that they've ever created or been involved with an inherent evil.

quit throwing stones...

He is gay. His music is gay. Worse yet, his music is some of the most insipid carp infecting the Church today. Quit throwing stones? His lifetsyle has infected his work.

Michelangelo? The claims have never been proven, nor has there been much proof offered. Even so, if he was, his work never showed it. I'm afraid the same cannot be said for Schutte. Like I said before, I am not surprised by this news and it explains alot.

Quit throwing stones? What stones? Fire away...

Personally, I don't like Schutte's music. Doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he's gay, it has to do with my opinion that he's a rotten composer. Perhaps a swell lyricist, but I want to shoot myself everytime I have to sing one of his little ditties.

But, some people obviously like him. I think it's a shame that he's gay. I am concerned about the double standard, though. I know organists, music directors and other people in church ministries who have been removed from their jobs because they are openly homosexual. Why should Dan Schutte be any different?

Here I am is one of the most obnoxious songs we are forced to sing. It doesn't really have anything to do with the author's orientation. However, it is a valid question to ask if someone living in a relationship contrary to God's law should be filling our hymnals.

peace...

Well he's not a priest anymore. How can the songs of a single santioned priest be thrown out when a large number of our hymns are actually protestant - esp. written during moments in history when protestants really really didn't like Catholics. Today we sing them because there has been some sort of reconciliation and a movement for ecumenism - which I actually sort of agree with reservations - this is why I don't think the argument works. Did he write Eagle's Wings?

I don't have that bad habit of leaving right after Communion anymore... but if the communion hymn is "Here I Am Lord", I'm sorry, I'm bailin'.

Personally, I've never made the connection between this song and the "intrinsic disorders" rights movement, but if the author REALLY took the words "I will go Lord if you lead me" he would realize that the Lord would lead people OUT of homosexual lifestyles, not into them.

Another thing: since Schutte is/was in the Jesuits, would the royalties go to him personally or to the Jesuits?

i'm getting "pionono" who is new, confused with "Pio Nono" who is a Church Scholar. At first I was a little freaked out, but now that I know who's who, well, it's still confusing.

BTW, I love "Here I Am, Lord".

:weep: :cry: I wanted to cry when I read this thread! How awful that just becouse God made this man gay people want to take his music out of church. Yes having a partner as a gay person is wrong but it is still no reason to have this hate for him. There are so many other people who have done such worse things yet we don't condem them. This is really a personal problem between him and God, he is sinning but how many of us sin also. I say the one without sin can throw the first stone! This topic really makes me sad, I thought we were supposed to be loving and accepting! :angry:

Many people here just don't like his music, nothing against him. :)

Do you really think God made him gay? I don't hate him. :)
