The synod truly is the gift that keeps on giving, although it seems that few wish to receive it. The latest study group report has not only garnered criticism from within the College of Cardinals, but now from a prominent bishop and one of the Church’s leading organisations dedicated to helping homosexual individuals in line with Church teaching.
“Courage has suffered calumny and detraction before, but usually from secular outlets. It is a great sadness and an additional wound to our members to have this false and unjust depiction in a Vatican document.” Such was the response to Synod Study Group 9 from Courage International, a Church-approved group dedicated to helping people with same-sex attraction, in accordance with Church teaching – in stark contrast with many groups which promote LGBT ideology.
