Petição ao Papa Francisco para mudar a linguagem LGBTQI da Igreja

Partilho uma petição enviada pela GNRC (Rede Global de Católicos Arco-Íris) e criada pela "Nós somos Igreja" da Irlanda. Passo a divulgar o comunicado de imprensa:

PRESS RELEASE 7 June 2018
PETITION TO POPE FRANCIS:
CHANGE CHURCH LGBTQI LANGUAGE

Today, Thursday 7th June We Are Church Ireland is launching a petition calling on Pope Francis to change Vatican theological language that is gravely insulting to LGBTQI people.

Words like 'objectively disordered ' and ' intrinsically evil' to describe any human being is wrong but for an institution like the Catholic Church to teach that these words are an expression of the mind of God to describe her image in LGBTQI persons is not alone scandalous but blasphemous.

The petition is being launched by Ursula Halligan of WAC Ireland, Senator David Norris and Pádraig Ó Tuama of the Corrymeela Community.

'We Are Church Ireland encourages every Catholic who continues to be enraged by this Vatican Un-Christian language to sign the petition demanding the withdrawal of this offensive language to describe our LGBTQI sisters and brothers' stated Brendan Butler.
