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:
- False statements are being
made about homosexuality being biologically determined.
- Catholic homosexuals are being told wrongly that
sexual-orientation change is never possible.
- The term "gay"
is being wrongly used to describe homosexuals who do not
identify with the gay socio-political position.
- 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.
- Catholics are being
informed wrongly that the homosexual condition is not
disordered.
