The
Society of Catholic Social Scientists has recently alerted our American
Bishops about a trend among some ministries to homosexual Catholics that
contradict authentic Catholic teaching on homosexuality AND are founded
upon erroneous scientific assumptions. The Society highlights:
1. False statements are being made about homosexuality being biologically determined. 2. Catholic homosexuals are being told wrongly that sexual-orientation change is never possible. 3. The term "gay" is being used wrongly to describe people of a homosexual orientation who do not identify with the gay socio-political position. 4. A separate "gay spirituality" regrettably is being encouraged, and gay ministries tell us that a person who suffers from the homosexual disorder has special "gay gifts" for the Church. 5. Catholics are being informed wrongly that the homosexual condition is not disordered. |
