Both Dignity/USA, which has been banned from meeting in Philadelphia churches, and New Ways plan to speak on behalf of gay Catholic rights at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' general meeting in Dallas beginning June 13.

Dignity has, in fact, been banned by the Vatican from meeting in any Catholic Church.

Can someone reconcile these facts for me?

Dignity is a pushy organization with a lot of backing, especially among the Jesuits. Courage, OTOH, is a low-key ministry that shies away from the public debate.

I'm not sure exactly why Courage is so low-key -- I suspect It has to do with its members desiring anonymity -- but I feel very strongly that it should be a part of the public debate as the Catholic alternative.

My guess is that the meeting won't be held in a church building. Ergo, Dignity isn't breakin' the rules.

They plan to speak is not necessarily the same as the Bishops plan to let them speak. They often sit outside Cathedrals and protest. I would assume they and many other gay groups will be protesting outside this meeting as well, esp. given how closely the subject matter hits to their perversion.

In other words they plan to speak to the media on behalf . . .
