CAN unveils its "Catholic, Open and Affirming" Curriculum

On its main web page, Catholic Action Network & "Holy Familes" states:

Our Holy Families working group unveiled it’s “Catholic, Open and Affirming” Curriculum, which will assist faith communities with discussing the issues surrounding sexual orientation.

The "Catholic, Open and Affirming" Curriculum can be facilitated in small faith-sharing groups. Contact CAN to discuss bringing "Catholic, Open and Affirming" to your community. The curriculum is a helpful way to have healthy dialogue surrounding the issues surrounding homosexuality and the church.

We are looking for people who would be interested in facilitating the "Catholic, Open and Affirming" Curriculum.

Since "Holy Families" was "born," so to speak, at St Cronans, some might wonder if the "COPA" program there is the same as or similar to that promoted by CAN?

From the 4/13 St Cronan bulletin we read:

This weekend we begin a four-week series of discussions concerning the kind and character of welcome we extend to LGBT Catholics in our midst. The Pastoral Team and the Parish Council have whole-heartedly embraced this model of discussion and theological reflection. It’s crucial that you make a commitment to participate in COPA. There are two sessions each week – you can attend either session based on your schedule. If you’re unable to attend either session on a particular week, you can catch-up online at www.stcronan.net; but we encourage you to make every effort to participate each week, because the program builds on the group’s work from the previous sessions.

We owe a special debt of thanks to the faithful men and women who have shepherded the COPA project and curriculum to this point. This parish is grateful for the hours and years of work that have gone into this program. Your love for the People of God is evident in your passion, your care, and your advocacy for truthtelling....

One wonders what sort of "truth" is being told and if it's in accord with the teachings of the Church?
