The Silence of Sodom : Homosexuality in Modern Catholicism by Mark D. Jordan
|
"IMAGINE THIS. Overnight, God changes the hearts of a majority of officials in the Vatican. They awake in the morning convinced that the Roman Catholic church's condemnation of 'homosexual acts' are both untrue and unjust. They resolve to revoke them. What would they have to revise in church doctrine or practice in order to correct the teachings about gays and lesbians? "To give this question any force, we have to picture the Holy Spirit bestowing courage as well as insight." |

"Unswayable, redeeming God, you heal the incurable wound of Zion and restore health to injuries beyond healing. Especially when no one cares and we are cast out, even should we come to believe we deserve abandonment due to some supposed sin, you do not renounce us. Our hearts cry for vengeance, but we refuse to copy the evil done to us by hating our haters. Foil haters by dismantling hate, Mighty God. Revise wicked hearts, converting casters of stones into throwers of lifelines. Plunder their dark little minds and steal away their sin. Exile the true public enemies, the demons of prejudice and scorn." |

The Church & The Homosexual by John J. McNeill
|
"What is particularly reprehensible about this dubious assumption of parental fault is the unproven burden of guilt it imposes on parents and the added impediment it places on the way of their children's being able to share their problem with their family. There are no necessary grounds for judging parents somehow responsible for their son's or daughter's homosexual condition; but there may well be grounds for judging them responsible for the disturbed or neurotic condition that all too frequently accompanies homosexuality. For the real moral problem that exists for the parents of a homosexual child is one of loving openness and acceptance." |
