‘*Knowledge, attitudes, conventions and experiences in this area are

AUSTRIA, March 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews <http://lifesitenews.com/>) — *The
Austrian diocese of Graz-Seckau is hosting an event on March 14 promoting
homosexuality.* On the official website of the diocese, the event,
“Sexualities 2020: fact check,” is being advertised by showing the naked
upper body of one man embracing the naked upper body of another from behind.

*“Sexuality is important. And sometimes complicated,” the diocese states
<https://www.katholische-kirche-steiermark.at/portal/glaubenfeiern/glaubenswissen/pastoralefortbildung/informationenundangebote/article/10055.html>
about the event on its website. “Knowledge, attitudes, conventions, and
experiences in this area are subject to major changes. In order to be able
to accompany and support people in the Church context well, it is helpful
to comprehend what various scientific disciplines are currently saying on
these topics.”*

Alexander Tschugguel, the Austrian founder of the St. Boniface Institute,
countered that “human nature doesn’t ever change.” Things like attitudes
and experiences are subjective, he told LifeSiteNews, “and as such have
nothing to do with objective truth.”

*According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church
<https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm>,
homosexual acts are gravely sinful.*

“Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts
of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are
intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural law. They close
the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine
affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be
approved,” the Catechism explains.

The website of the diocese of Graz-Seckau states that participants in the
event will focus on what the insights of medicine, psychology, and moral
theology mean “for concrete work in pastoral fields like pastoral care,
liturgy, and education.”

Tschugguel demonstrated the absurdity of such efforts by suggesting that
one imagine that the Church had adopted the “insights” of the Roman Empire
— for instance, the gladiatorial games — or the “insights” of the Third
Reich and communism.

*Fr. Gero Weishaupt, a professor of canon law in Austria and the
Netherlands, spoke of a “scandalous event, whose demands do not correspond
to the moral teaching of the Church.”*

*He told LifeSiteNews that Catholics have the right to point this out to
the bishop. If the bishop does not remove the scandal, they can get in
touch with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the
Congregation for Bishops.*

Scandal is defined <http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P80.HTM> by the
catechism as “an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The
person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor’s tempter. He damages virtue
and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal
is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into
a grave offense.”

Alexander Tschugguel said various diocesan organizations in Austria focus
on homosexuality. They are called DAHOP and are some sort of a diocesan
task force, supposedly focusing on pastoral care for homosexuals.

*In the diocese of Linz, DAHOP is hosting an event
<http://schlosspuchberg.at/seminar/10_22644-und-gott-sah-dass-es-gut-war>
on March 20 called “And God saw that it was good: Lesbian, Bisexual, and
Gay people in the Church.”*

*According to the invitation, “The Good News, whose core is love, does not
distinguish people according to their sexual orientation!”*

*“‘You are beloved children of God!’ and ‘It's good the way you are!’ is
also and especially a message of the Catholic Church!” the website of the
retreat center continues.*

Tschugguel demanded clarity from the bishops. “We don’t want them to
mislead the people,” he said.

“People who have to live with those challenges don’t have an easy life, in
many ways,” Tschugguel explained. “The duty of the Church is essential —
namely, to bring them the truth, leading them to health of soul.”

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published a letter, approved by Pope John Paul
II, “on the pastoral care of homosexual persons
<http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19861001_homosexual-persons_en.html>”
in 1986, when he was prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith.

In his letter, he pointed out that confusion has been caused by a false
understanding of the Bible. This false exegesis “claims variously that
Scripture has nothing to say on the subject of homosexuality, or that it
somehow tacitly approves of it, or that all of its moral injunctions are so
culture-bound that they are no longer applicable to contemporary life.
These views are gravely erroneous.”

Ratzinger clarified that a homosexual act “is not a complementary union,
able to transmit life; and so it thwarts the call to a life of that form of
self-giving which the Gospel says is the essence of Christian living.”

While homosexuals can be “generous and giving of themselves,” he said,
“when they engage in homosexual activity they confirm within themselves a
disordered sexual inclination which is essentially self-indulgent.”

Already in 1986, Ratzinger identified an “enormous pressure,” even within
the Church, to change the teaching on homosexuality.

“The Church’s ministers must ensure that homosexual persons in their care
will not be misled by this point of view,” he cautioned.

Directly focusing on pastoral care for people with same-sex attraction,
Ratzinger said they are called “to enact the will of God in their life by
joining whatever sufferings and difficulties they experience in virtue of
their condition to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross.”

“That Cross, for the believer, is a fruitful sacrifice since from that
death come life and redemption. While any call to carry the cross or to
understand a Christian’s suffering in this way will predictably be met with
bitter ridicule by some, it should be remembered that this is the way to
eternal life for all who follow Christ.”

Ratzinger encouraged bishops to provide true pastoral care to homosexuals.

“No authentic pastoral program will include organizations in which
homosexual persons associate with each other without clearly stating that
homosexual activity is immoral. A truly pastoral approach will appreciate
the need for homosexual persons to avoid the near occasions of sin,” he
said.
