Living In Truth: Erroneous Assumptions

In 1995 the Society of Catholic Social Scientists alerted our American Bishops about a trend among some ministries to Catholics experiencing homosexual feelings that contradict authentic Catholic teaching on homosexuality and are founded upon erroneous scientific assumptions.

The Society highlights:

1. False statements are being made about homosexuality being biologically determined.

2. Catholic homosexuals are being told wrongly that sexual-orientation change is never possible.

3. The term "gay" is being wrongly used to describe homosexuals who do not identify with the gay socio-political position.

4. A separate "gay spirituality" regrettably is being encouraged, and gay ministries tell us that a person who suffers from the homosexual disorder has special "gay gifts" for the Church.

5. Catholics are being informed wrongly that the homosexual condition is not disordered.
