Father Brian Gannon argues how ‘intellectually dishonest’ document departs from Scripture and 2,000 years of Church teaching on human sexuality.
The final report of the Synod on Synodality’s Study Group 9 has drawn widespread criticism since its publication last week — not least for what its authors wrote about Courage International.
A respected and canonically approved Catholic apostolate, since 1980 Courage International has been providing spiritual support to men and women experiencing same-sex attractions who wish to live chastely according to Church teaching.
In its critique of Courage, the report failed to include perspectives from anyone involved with the apostolate and erroneously claimed that its work involved so-called “reparative therapy.”
“Since no Courage representative was involved in the process, the study group became problematic and seems to contradict what synodality intends: the greater engagement of all relevant voices,” said Father Brian Gannon, Courage International’s executive director, in an interview with the Register. “It is thus intellectually dishonest.”
