It's aim is to uphold Catholic teaching while helping people to live chastely.<BR/><BR/>There was 1 thing in this article that didn't surprize me, that the author lumped Courage in with all the other ministries that are actually not Catholic but claim to be while dissenting from Catholic teaching.<BR/><BR/>Nor did it surprize me that it dissed Courage when it described it as viewing "homosexuality as a problem to be overcome." as well as some other things it said.<BR/><BR/>The Press was forced to cover this, but it made sure it did so in a way that subtly showed its anti-Catholic (orthodox that is) bias.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-65198372719759434682009-02-26T00:56:00.000-05:002009-02-26T00:56:00.000-05:00I believe that any time this comes up in a press c...I believe that any time this comes up in a press conference, the answer needs to be that the Catholic Church once had a large number of gay priests. It might even be good to have the statistic. The result of that experiment which went against Church teaching and thus was a form of dissent, was XXX number of boys between the age of X and X that were abused by homosexuals and cost the Church XXXXXX number of dollars. The Church has learned a valuable lessen from this in that the teaching of the Church is indeed correct and that the pracitce of homosexuality is a grave sin. Also from experience, there appears to be no treatment that would allow the Church to risk putting children at risk ever again in the future. Being a Priest is not some Civil Right but a call from God. In fact, we think that any organization that places a practicing homosexual around children should also be held to the same standards as the Catholic Church as been if there is any incident with that employee or member. This must be done to protect children.grampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458042134293544734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-83189408488883780222009-02-25T21:56:00.000-05:002009-02-25T21:56:00.000-05:00The Courage ministry had an exhibitor/vendor booth...The Courage ministry had an exhibitor/vendor booth at the Arlington (VA) county fair last summer. The word is definitely getting out. Although the people from Courage didn't seem to be drawing the same crowds that the Gay Pride (or possibly Integrity) group was getting. I too wish the Courage ministry every blessing on their long and difficult road.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523711184044291561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-49694036600357017662009-02-25T11:16:00.000-05:002009-02-25T11:16:00.000-05:00Oh no!

Could someone please tell me how this reporter doesn't know that Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Jugis may be influenced more by their respective desires to fill the roles as true shepherds? Why isn't the explanation for this action that Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Jugis are actually faithful Catholics and are working to help others live in Truth?Confiteorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120221660691225969noreply@blogger.com
