COURAGE!


Former U.S. Marine Captain Father Paul Check tells about his experiences as director of Courage, the "apostolate to men and women struggling with same - sex attraction who seek to live chastely...."


Snippet from Jim Greaves interview with Father Check for The Catholic World Report, December 2010. It's on page 26 and is called "Hidden Victories."

Random note: Father Check was "ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Bridgeport Connecticut in 1997."

And so? That would have been about the time a wannabe seminarian named Anton Quang Dinh Van got the sack, before shoving off for the Archdiocese of Detroit where he was kicked out of at least one (1) more seminary, if not actually two (2) --- in either case his last fling was at a Redemptorist seminary....


Question:

"How does the Courage apostolate work?

Father Check's answer:

"It is well - known that the Church's teaching on homosexual activity, including same - sex marriage, includes a clear and direct no.

"But that no is embedded in a larger yes, to human nature and human dignity, to what is good, true, and beautiful, and, of course, to Christ himself..."

And Father Check's answer just keeps getting better and better!

Don't believe it?

Well ...
