Interesting articles in response to AOC. I pulled the quote from Fr. Nugent because it's so representative of the hate homosexual groups have for the ex-homosexual. They find them really threatening.
"Fr. Robert Nugent of New Ways Ministries in an article in the Washington Blade (Oct. 3, 1997): ‘In the face of reparative therapists and some Catholic ministers in the Church who deny there is homosexual orientation, the bishops are affirming this reality and asking to accept that reality in their children.’"
I love how these folks misrepresent those they oppose just so they can provide an "answer" that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
I find it impossible to believe this assertion that AOC was drafted to supposedly correct people who don't believe "there is homosexual orientation".
Who doesn't believe "there is homosexual orientation"?
Certainly our catechism does address this reality!
No...AOC was drafted to lay a guilt trip on the families of homosexuals...and to instruct them to be more understanding.
AOC had nothing to do with the Church's teaching regarding sexuality.
