For the second time in four years, so-called Catholic groups that oppose Catholic Church teachings regarding human sexuality will protest at the opening Mass of the National Courage Conference.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Catholic Action Network for Social Justice and Friendship and Justice plan to be outside the College Church on the campus of Saint Louis University on Thursday, July 27 demonstrating against what they call the "hurtful and untrue message promoted by Courage."<\/p>\n
Organizers are also asking supporters to write letters to friends, faculty, and students of the university to "expose" the university’s support of Courage and the conference. They are concerned that "Courage’s understanding of homosexuality directly contradicts I find this sad but funny that two so-called Catholic groups are worried about Courage’s dissent from the psychiatric magisterium while at the same time have no problem dissenting from the magisterium of the Catholic Church. Somehow in their ecclesiology a vote taken by an organization because of social pressure and not scientific studies trumps the faith. <\/p>\n
