“A Look at the Church’s New Policy on Children of Gay Couples”

In addition to the items mentioned in my previous post on the subject, and to my own five brief comments there, here’s another calm comment to weigh when considering the current brouhaha:

By the way, I’ve recently encountered two claims about the new policy that baffle me:

1)  Children of a parent who comes out as gay will, it is said, be excommunicated.

2)  In order to be baptized, it’s being asserted, children of gay parents will be required to publicly denounce those parents.

I don’t see support for either of those claims in the new policy.

And, of course, the critics are also claiming that this is all being done as a result of hatred, and in a hateful way.

I just don’t see it.

But, plainly, people are disposed to see certain things, and so they see them.
