Church’s stance is elitist and uncaring

WE are members of Parent Support - a small group of parents who over the past 25 years have listened to other parents who have been told by a son or daughter that they are gay, bisexual or transgendered.

We have been reading the recent Vatican document on homosexuality and the priesthood and noting the reactions to it on the airwaves and in the print media.

Without going into detail, the tone of this document is aggressive, elitist, uncaring and, in places, inaccurate.
