The Catholic Church is at it once again going out of its way to tick me off. This time my ire can be traced to a diocese here in New England.
Yesterday, the Archdiocese of Hartford announced it would start ministering to people with same-sex attraction through a program called COURAGE, which currently has more than 100 chapters in the US.
People who are struggling with reconciling their faith and sexual identity can expect more of the same harmful teachings the Catholic Church loves to embrace: Love the sinner; Hate the sin.
Strange that the Church loves to only quote the most virulent lines about homosexuality from the Book of Leviticus in the Old Testament, even though the book essentially damns everyone in modern civilization to Hell. How convenient to leave out that being gay is equally evil as eating pork or masturbating. I think the thing I find most frustrating about this group called COURAGE is that what it is asking of these people seems less courageous and more cowardly. #Shameful
