Substantial numbers of bishops do not accept Catholic teaching on sexual morality, be it on contraception and abortion or sodomy. Many, perhaps most, of these dissenters are themselves homosexuals.
Unmitigated slander, uttered by a liberal in love with his own intellect.
Another "pearl of wisdom" from fatuous McElroy:
"...Through such encounters, he said, Catholics may take inspiration from the rich spirituality of the Muslim people, which includes the centrality of daily prayer, a commitment to asceticism and an understanding of "the immensity and the richness" of divine mercy..."

I think I’d like to see what he actually said rather than being quoted piece-meal with a lot of ellipses and sentence fragments. May be he said what the writer asserts he said, but there’s no way to arrive at an informed opinion about what someone said unless you actually hear or read what they said, and not what someone says they said.

| 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. |
