At 3:02 this afternoon I heard the 20-second version of this story on ABC radio news. This statement simply repeats the teaching that homosexual activity is inherently disordered because it is contraceptive in nature, and therefore against natural law. It goes on to say that the Church has a special responsibility to those with homosexual inclination, to reach out to them and help them live in chastity.

What did ABC say? “The Church says it accepts homosexual members but they must not receive Communion if they are actively involved in homosexual relations. A leading Catholic homosexuals group says this will only drive people away from the Church.”

There’s a point at which you aren’t surprised anymore…
