There's no question that Dignity, New Ways Ministry and the diocesan "catholic gay ministries" that make up the NACDLGM make selective use of Always Our Children. First and foremost, they use it to call themselves "gay" ministries, based on the following:
4. When speaking publicly, use the words "homosexual," "gay," and "lesbian" in honest and accurate ways.
These groups use Always Our Children to introduce the secular "gay" culture (and all that that entails) into catholic ministry -- that is, Always Our Children literally put the "gay" into so-called catholic "gay ministries." (Such is the handiwork of Robert Nugent, silenced co-founder of New Ways Ministry, who is presently being given sanctuary by Cardinal Keeler of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.)

For an orthodox commentary on Always Our Children (which, as you correctly point out, is not without its merits), you might be interested in Fr. Harvey's Observations Concerning the Revised Text of Always Our Children, which is posted on the Courage website. (To put Fr. Harvey's comments in context, here is a link to the original and revised versions of Always Our Children, redlined in the revised version to indicate what changes have been made.)

Isn't that pathetic? The cover-up continues as America's wimpy prelates continue to pander to unrepentant, activist sodomites posing as Catholic clergymen. They talk out of both sides of their mouth while the public humiliation of Catholics continues. Outrageous.
