heavenseeker Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 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 [url="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19861001_homosexual-persons_en.html"]http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congrega...persons_en.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam42 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
