Maybe It's Not That Bad

Re: Homosexuals and the Catholic Church

Just ignore the damn document:
The most startling fact about the document was that it was not approved by the Pope "in forma specifica," which means that it has the lowest possible level of authority a Vatican document can possess. This lack of specific approval only further confirms that the document, however ugly and offensive, will change very little. Whatever the anti-gay prejudices of certain prelates, Catholics have been perfecting the art of ignoring the Vatican for centuries.
