I find the comments of those who have (most likely) no understanding of Courage truly mystifying (and humorous). When good men and women choose to live by the teachings of the Church of their own accord, who are you to criticize? Here are men and women who have clearly accepted their sexual orientation (otherwise, why would they belong to a same sex oriented group), and found a way to place that in perspective of their Catholic beliefs. Instead of the name calling and attacking this thread is highlighting, how about a little encouragement and support for them. It is not everyone's calling - that's clear when Fr. Bochanski says diocesan chapters may have 20 members (I can usually count 20 gay men in my parish's 10:0 Mass alone each Sunday). And who are these people interfering with? No one is saying all gay and lesbian Catholics must attend Courage in advancement of their faith - instead, it is an offered ministry, just like many of the Church's other ministries for the faithful.
