the program does not challenge church orthodoxy

So, are they proclaiming and supporting the call to chastity for those with same sex attraction disorder? Didn't think so. Are they proclaiming the need to avoid sinful homosexual activity and the near occasions of sin? Didn't think so. At most there will be a tacit silence on these points with a nudge and a wink, I'm sure. At worse, such activity will be approved and celebrated.

Given the failure of the repeated attempts of the church's legitimate authorities to resolve the problems presented by the writings and pastoral activities of the two authors, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is obliged to declare for the good of the Catholic faithful that the positions advanced by Sister Jeannine Gramick and Father Robert Nugent regarding the intrinsic evil of homosexual acts and the objective disorder of the homosexual inclination are doctrinally unacceptable because they do not faithfully convey the clear and constant teaching of the Catholic Church in this area.3
