Confusion in the Kingdom - How ‘Progressive’ Catholicism Is Bringing Harm and Scandal to the Church Quotes

“You can’t have your own pronouns any more than you can have your own adjectives. Those words refer to an objective reality about a person that can’t be changed through our subjective preferences. Through hard work, we can change adjectives that describe some parts of our appearance, but whether a person is a “he” or a “she” is a biological reality. It is inscribed in every cell of our body—it is something, contrary to what our culture claims, that cannot be ignored in favor of our own preferences.”

“We may not be able to judge a person’s invisible soul, but we can judge the person’s visible actions, and so we should never give the impression that intrinsically evil acts could be morally good.”

“The LGBT pride flag represents more than the “fundamental human rights,” like the right to life, of those who identify as LGBT. Indeed, for many people who fly the pride flag, those “fundamental rights” include the right to “marry” people of the same sex, which the Catholic Church opposes. The Church doesn’t just oppose Catholics engaging in same-sex “marriages”; it opposes society’s attempts to redefine something God created for humanity. The State can no more validly redefine marriage than it can redefine “womanhood” or “humanity” (though it certainly tries). This design is so deeply engrained into human nature that it makes same-sex “marriage” as impossible as a square circle.”
