This Vatican adviser is moving Catholics toward LGBT inclusion

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

"In 2013, when asked about gay priests, he (Pope Francis) famously replied, “Who am I to judge?” He has continued to call for the Catholic Church to treat LGBT people with dignity and respect, and to fight discrimination against sexual minorities......
But the church may be on the cusp of another baby step in this ongoing discussion with the publication of a new book by a popular Jesuit priest, James Martin: “Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity.”
Martin argues the church must move from a position of tolerance to inclusion when it comes to LGBT people. He criticizes the language of disorder from the catechism, calls on Catholics to stop firing LGBT people from church positions and frequently uses terms like “gay” and “lesbian” that many Catholic officials avoid."

1. No he's not.

By "inclusion" he means refraining from the official church language that homosexuality is "objectively disordered," but still adhering to what it means: that anybody who isn't heterosexual cannot marry the person they love, OR have a physical relationship with them. To be "included" in the RCC, someone who is homosexual must be celibate.

In other words, it's just religious bigotry with a smile.
