I am hopeful you will fill us in on how it went, Michael. It would be nice if Dignity and Courage could have some contact. Do you know if Courage has spoken out against discrimination against gay people and anti-gay violence and prejudice? I have had some contact with Courage with mixed results but also attend Dignity events. I do get a lot out of the Dignity Masses but wish that the Church would be more positive about such ministries.Mareczkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122584421854834046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-82102741679326675362009-10-21T11:21:47.645-05:002009-10-21T11:21:47.645-05:00Michael, just a thought:

But in their gentler manifestations, Courage and similar don't claim to change basic orientation, but just to help people to lively chastely within that condition.<br /><br />But in Church teaching, this "chaste" living is appropriate to all, and widely ignored by unmarried Catholics of all kinds: teens, young adults, engaged couples, the widowed and divorced people. <br /><br />If the authorities are so concerned to promote chaste living to us, shouldn't they be promoting chastity as vigorously to everyone else?Terence Weldonhttp://queeringthechurch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
