Like Mr. Donohue, [Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, director of the Pontifical Council for the Family], also took issue with the term "reproductive rights," which he said "is used not to promote the right of reproduction, but the right of abortion. The meaning of these terms is exactly the opposite to their literal meaning."Way to go, Cardinal Trujillo!
On a related note, Courage -- an apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church which ministers to those with same-sex attractions and their loved ones and which has been endorsed by the aforementioned Pontifical Council for the Family -- has an excellent article entitled, Catholic Language Regarding Homosexuality. I look forwarding to seeing how much of the substance of the Courage article will find its way into the upcoming glossary.
