Addendum: “An Open Letter to Angry Christians Against Gay Persons”

Published March 23, 2015 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog

I owe my readers an apology and some clarification. My last post is in need of expounding – I would blame the whole working-mom-no-sleep thing, but that’s just an excuse. The truth is I’ve got a lot to learn as both a writer and Catholic, and I am blessed to have people in my life to… [Read More]

An Open Letter to Angry Christians Against Gay Persons

Published March 16, 2015 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Marriage and Love, Young Adult

(For info on the Catholic church’s teaching on gay “marriage”, look here and here.) It is not about the politics around being gay in the US. This letter is simply a reminder that we are… [Read More]

Called to Love (Review: Gay & Catholic)

Published December 9, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Marriage and Love, Reviews

If not for my particular faith journey, I might never have read this book. I started going to church at the age many people first stop.

The Challenge of LGBT Friendships

Published February 8, 2013 • Written by Matt Sullivan Filed Under: Faith, Marriage and Love

  “He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’” -Matthew 16:14 Jennifer Fulwiler wrote an article several months ago documenting a conversation she had with an old friend who had chosen an “alternate” lifestyle.  She handled it remarkably well and admirably defended her Catholic faith throughout the awkward affair.  However, the… [Read More]

Why I Believe in Gay Equality

Published December 15, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Marriage and Love, Young Adult, Youth

First things first: I apologize for my extended hiatus from posting blogs. Let’s just say a lot of very significant and life-changing things happened to me one after another. Second things second: I’d like to return to my regularly scheduled programming by speaking about a rather snaggly issue in our state/country/world at the moment: gay… [Read More]

Marriage & Saltwater

Published May 23, 2012 • Written by Casey Truelove Filed Under: Column

Catholics believe that it is impossible for people of the same sex to marry each other. This particular Church teaching is one of the most often attacked from without (and, unfortunately, dissented from within). In order to better understand this doctrine, I would like to focus on one particular aspect of this doctrine: the necessary… [Read More]
