A remarkable feature of the CDF's core document on homosexuality is the almost total absence of any reference to the words or example of Jesus Christ. The CDF "Letter to the bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons" is the almost total absence of any reference to the example or words of Jesus Christ, on whom the Christian message is based. In the letter's 18 paragraphs, there is precisely one specific reference to Jesus, right in the final paragraph, and it has nothing whatever to do with the Church's sexual ethics.
The Lord Jesus promised, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" (Jn. 8:32).
A fine recommendation, and one I heartily endorse. Whether the document itself includes too much truth, is another matter entirely.
