"...how best to live authentically our commitment to the Gospel".
Has anyone considered starting with the Ten Commandments? Oh, right. Why bother. I keep forgetting. They are superfluous. Right, we make up the Gospel because, guess what? WE are now GOD. God protect my Faith. Call me small minded and provincial, but THIS is the ENEMY at work.
If St.Ignatius were to return to us, I suspect he would die of sorrow,and not survive twenty-four hours upon witnessing the spiritual decadence of the Society. I suspect it would break his heart. It breaks mine. I am reminded of what Walker Percy once said: one has to cultivate a sense of horror...

Affirming alright. Affirming others in sin. Whoops. I forgot. It is not sin anymore.
Meanwhile, the dissenter, Kerry Kennedy, will be spealing in the MAIN CHURCH on June 2nd.
None of these groups are promoting homosexual CONDUCT - they are celebrating who they are. Therefore there is no sin involved. Maria and others miss the point.
Celebrating who they are?
Au contraire, they are celebrating as small part of themselves and making it a whole.
Apparently, being "gay" trumps every other aspect of life for these people.
But, what is "gayness" but an abberration. Whether by nature or nuture, it is patently a disordered proclivity to fruitless and mastubatory sexual activity. That is definitely not something to celebrate nor to build one's identity upon!
Anyone with that proclivity deserves respect as a human being and sympathy, but not encouragement to be proud of their malady.
Afterall, we don't encourage alcoholics to celebrate their genetic proclivity to alcoholism, do we?
