Hochschild's Apology for the Pope's Statement on Same-Sex Civil Unions


But the Natural Law does have something to say about non-procreative sex acts. It also arguably has something to say about what status should be given to those who engage in such acts with members of the same-sex. After all, Thomists recognize that law as a teacher, and in this case, it is not merely about the "union" alone, but everything that is associated with it and is legitimized by it. The fact that SSA may be involuntary does not mean that mercy requires that we validate their lifestyle choices.

Rome: "Heresy is Preferable to Schism"

Could this be extended by Latin traditionalists to possible criticisms of Rome's negotiations with the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Orthodox?
