There's probably content enough for an article about Dignity Canada (that's a note to self or anyone who beats me to it.) — coelacan — 00:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I don't dispute the basic facts of the article. However, I would like to point out that the Catholic Church, in my understanding and in teachings I have seen, makes a clear dsictinction between homosexual orientation (almost certainly not a choice and therefore not a sin) and homosexual actions (which the Church deems sinful). The Church teaches, clearly, that all human beings are children of God, deserving of love and respect, and with an essential, innate human dignity. The Churh follows Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ taught love. He also taught clearly against sin, but always within a context of love (as I understand Him). I am a Catholic and my dad is a Catholic priest (formerly Episcopailan - he was married well before he converted). I do not see anything factual in the article, per se, with which I necessarily disagree. The tone of it, however, strikes me as unloving and harsh. One person's view. Take care.

I removed the following sentence from the second graf of the History section: It is important to note that "Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Catholic" is known as oxymoron, because a Catholic by definition does not participate in heresies against the Church. Besides the POVishness, the assertion struck me as possibly being a misleading simplification of how the RCC actually defines the status of non-obedient Catholics, gay or otherwise.
