teaching of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition’

*By Cardinal Raymond Burke*

The worldwide communications media have reported with strong emphasis, as a
change of course, the news that *Pope Francis has declared **that persons
in the homosexual condition, as children of God, “have a right to have a
family” and that “no one should be thrown out or be made unhappy because of
it.”* Moreover, they write that he has declared: “What we have to create is
a civil union. In this way they will be legally covered. I have defended
this.” The declarations were made in an interview with Evgeny Afineevsky,
director of a documentary, “Francesco,” premiered on October 21, 2020, on
the occasion of the Rome Film Festival (*Festa del Film di Roma*).

*Such declarations generate great bewilderment and cause confusion and
error among **Catholic faithful*, i*nasmuch as they are contrary to **the
teaching of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and of the recent
Magisterium by which the Church guards, protects and interprets the whole
deposit of faith *contained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. *They
cause *wonderment and *error regarding** the Church’s teaching **among**
people of good will, who sincerely wish to know what the Catholic Church
teaches. *They impose upon pastors of souls the duty of conscience to make
fitting and necessary clarifications.

First of all,* the context and the occasion of such declarations make them
devoid of any magisterial weight.* They are rightly interpreted as simple
private opinions of the person who made them. These declarations do not
bind, in any manner, the consciences of *the faithful *who* are rather
obliged to adhere with religious submission to what Sacred Scripture and
Sacred Tradition, and the ordinary Magisterium of the Church teach* on the
matter in question. In particular, the following are to be noted.

1. “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents* homosexual acts as
acts of grave depravity,* Tradition has always declared that * “homosexual
acts are intrinsically disordered” (**Catechism of the Catholic Church, no.
2357*; Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, *Persona humana*,
“Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, no. VIII[1]),
inasmuch as they are contrary to the natural law, closed to the gift of
life and void of a true affective and sexual complementarity. Therefore,
they cannot be approved.

2. The particular and sometimes deep-seated tendencies of persons, men and
women, in the homosexual condition, which are for them a trial, although
they may not in themselves constitute a sin, represent nonetheless an
objectively disordered inclination (*Catechism of the Catholic Church*, no.
2358; Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, *Homosexualitatis
problema*, “Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral
Care of Homosexual Persons,” no. 3[2]). They are, therefore, to be received
with respect, compassion and sensitivity, avoiding any unjust
discrimination. The Catholic faith teaches the faithful to hate sin but to
love the sinner.

3. *The faithful, and, in particular, Catholic politicians are held to
oppose **the legal recognition of homosexual unions* (*Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, Considerations Regarding Proposals To Give Legal
Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons, Diverse questioni
concernenti l’omosessualità, n. 10[3]*).* The right to form a family is not
a private right to vindicate but must correspond to the plan of the Creator
Who has willed the human being in sexual difference, “male and female He
created them” (Gen 1, 27), thus calling man, male and female, to the
transmission of life.* “Because married couples ensure the succession of
generations and are therefore eminently within the public interest, civil
law grants them institutional recognition. Homosexual unions, on the other
hand, do not need specific attention from the legal standpoint since they
do not exercise this function for the common good.” (*Ibidem,* no. 9[4]). *To
speak of a homosexual union, in the same sense as the conjugal union of the
married, is, in fact, profoundly misleading, **because there can be no such
union between persons of the same sex. *In what regards the administration
of justice, persons in the homosexual condition, as all citizens, can
always make use of the provisions of law to safeguard their private rights.
It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the
private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed
to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church,
as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and is
guarded, protected and interpreted by the Magisterium. Equally sad and
concerning is the turmoil, confusion, and error they cause among the
Catholic faithful, as is *the scandal they cause, in general, by giving the
totally false impression that the Catholic Church has had a change of
course*, that is, has changed its perennial teaching regarding such
fundamental and critical questions.


*Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke Rome, October 22, 2020*
