[b]Catholic Teachings and Homosexuality
Human beings are not defined by their sexual orientation. Homosexual people, as human beings, have the same rights as others - including that of not being treated in a manner which offends their personal dignity.
The Church is compassionate to people with this tendency and recognises the considerable numbers who struggle to come to terms with it. She seeks to bring the person to a greater fulfilment and healing, and a more profound understanding of the self.[/b]
I was reluctant to read that article, but it's actually fairly compassionate. So much for the fire and brimstones, huh, Vercetti?
