From Fr. James Martin, S.J.
Good timing on this new video, just released from Ignatian News Network, on the Catholic Church's outreach to the LGBT community. INN visited America magazine a few months ago, to film a Jesuit vocation video, and, during their stay, asked ...Fr. Matt Malone, SJ, editor in chief, and me to reflect on Cardinal Dolan's comments that the church could do a better job of welcoming LGBT men and women. Believe it or not, INN had planned to release the video today, before knowing about the Pope Francis's comments. (Though I suspect the title might be a new addition!)
I think more of the effects will soon be noticed. For instance, I doubt very much that children of 'gay couples' will be kicked out of Catholic school any longer. Or that a man who lives with another man will be told not to lector at Mass any longer.
Just a guess.
