Homosexuality?

I know that the church doesn't approve of homosexual actions and marrage. I guess the question is then, how should we act towards homosexuals? :unsure:

In my opinion this letter from the SCDF is a good summary of the teaching of the Church and the pastoral care of the Homosexual person without ambiguity

That is a great link cappie.....

Here is the simple version of that:

[quote name='CCC #2359']Homosexual persons are called to chastity. [b]By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.[/b][/quote]

That is the best way to answer the question, without getting into the Vatican explaination, which is, of course a more complete answer. Mine is just the springboard for cappie's.
