And speaking of Soulforce....

The group has issued a report on their 'nonviolent' protests at the recent USCCB meeting in Washington DC.

Of course, they were greeted by Bishop Gumbleton in their efforts to reject the irreversible and immutable teaching of the Church that homosexuality is intrinsically disorded and evil.
We sang songs of hope and joy, of freedom and faith. Bishop Gumbleton came out to greet us, as usual.

Although change seems excruciatingly slow in the Catholic Church, as well many of the Protestant denominations, we remain determined and dedicated to changing the hearts and minds of religious leaders, the root of discrimination and prejudice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. As change was brought about in the view of the rainbow cross as an affirmation of faith, we remain hopeful that is only the beginning of many more transformations to come.
I would think and hope that someone has told them that the Church's acceptance of homosexuality as a good and noble lifestyle will never happen - no matter how many protests they have.
