There are two homosexual groups within the Catholic Church... "Dignity" and "Courage"... members of both communities are openly homosexual. The first wants to be recognized and accepted in their chosen lifestyle.... The second admits that their lifestyle is contrary to the teaching of the church and chooses to live their lives, as best they can, in conformity with the church. The maxim love the sinner - hate the sin. Although different, equate those divorced - remarried Catholic hetrosexual couples who are not in union with the church... their lifestyle is contrary to church teaching, as well, and are they not receive the Sacraments... many do, but that is on the conscience.
