This is just an excerpt of this article from the National Catholic Register of an interview with Fr. Paul Check from the Courage Apostolate which helps people with same sex attraction to live a chaste life. Full article can be found at link below;
Now Father Paul Check, who leads the international Courage apostolate,
which helps Catholics with same-sex attraction live in accord
with Catholic teaching on chastity, has expressed concern about this
passage. During an interview today, he said that Courage members are worried
and confused about the message from the Synod:
I am most concerned for the people who are part of the
Courage apostolate. They trust that what the Church teaches on homosexuality is
true. They are striving with God’s grace to live that teaching, amid
other voices — including their own families — telling them to live
another way and find a partner.
They look at this language with dismay, concern and some
pain. They count on the voice of the Church to keep them strong and reassure
them that the choices they have made are true. The Church gives them strength
to persevere.
I also think about our EnCourage parents and their
struggle to trust what the Church teaches is true, when there are many other
voices in the legislature and judiciary that want to normalize same-sex unions.
