Pastoral Letter of the American Bishops

PRESS RELEASES of 7/12/97

The MO.CO.VA. (Second Vatican Council Movement) wants to focus the public attention on the recent pastoral letter of the catholic American Bishops. The title is: “Always and any way our childrens”.

The letter slogan is: “Parents, love your homosexual childrens”.

The most important phrases are: “Do not erect walls, do not reject them forever”. Do your best “to create an atmosphere open to dialogue in your home, where it can be easy for your children to talk about their homosexuality”.

The MO.CO.VA. takes the opportunity to repeat its clear convictions:

Omosexuality, according to today’s science,is not an illness.
Omosexuality among adults, if accompanied by love, responsibility and married engagement, has the same dignity of heterosexuality.
The omosexual relationship between an adult and an adolescent should not to be allowed, since a teenager has still to clearly define his own sexuality.
