Brian, you have constantly challenged the Catholic Church to lead in these things and contrary to your belief, I think the Catholic Church is leading by clarifying its stand. The Catholic Church believes that we are all created in the image and likeness of God and that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. This then is the basis of the respect which the Catholic Church shows to gay people - through its not condemning of the people. Unlike the fundamentalist Protestants who erected homophobic monuments and openly condemned homosexuality, the Catholic Church does not do this. Homosexuality is also a very serious condition in Islam. What the Catholic Church says is that, unfortunately, it cannot grant the sacrament of marriage to same sex partners because marriage, as instituted by Christ, as written in the Scripture and as practiced for thousands of years by church tradition, is only given to a man and a woman. By its "silence", I think the Catholic Church is acknowledging that we are all beautiful creatures of God who are born to love Him and our fellowmen in return. And we are not here to judge one another. There is undoubtedly a spectrum of outspokenness among its leaders on this issue, especially in the "condemn-the-sin-but-not-the-sinner" reasoning.Religious Instruction Programme of the Sta.
