Father James Martin Proposes an Alternate Catechism
BOOK REVIEW: The popular Jesuit priest puts forth the notion that the Church has misunderstood Gods plan for human sexuality for her entire history.
Father Gerald E. Murray
In his new book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion and Sensitivity (HarperCollins), Jesuit Father James Martin has written a critique of the Catholic Churchs dealings with what he calls the the LGBT community.
What is the LGBT community? This acronym describes three groups of people: those who engage in, or feel drawn to engage in, homosexual activity (lesbians and gays); those who engage in, or feel drawn to engage in, both heterosexual and homosexual activity (bisexuals); and those persons who reject their sexual identity and think that they are in fact a member of the opposite sex (transsexuals/transgendered persons).
Is this, in fact, a community? Not really.
This is a lumping together of those who reject the natural order of human sexuality in different ways, and who thus share a common interest in seeing that laws and societal norms and customs that support that natural order be proscribed.

If the Church has “misunderstood” human nature since 33 A.D., then the Church is not what it appears to be.

Thank God he has given us James Martin - to reinterpret two millennia of Christian doctrinal errors accepted by literally tens of billions of Catholics before him.

the scripture is so clear on this subject
sorry but there’s very little room for human interpretation
more or less, revisionism

Ebb Tide - You’ve been here as long as I. We both know that the National Catholic Register, the Irish Times, etc., are anti-Catholic.
Why do you persist in posting these hate sources?
Otherwise, you’re great.-)

“the Church has misunderstood Gods plan for human sexuality for her entire history”
If that’s true, then the Church is not the Church Peter founded.
Betting that the pope is not condemning this.

National Catholic Register is published by EWTN; I hardly think they're anti-Catholic. You may be confusing them with the National Catholic Reporter, a/k/a Fishwrap.
