current teaching...I'm not misleading anyone. What I am saying is that the doctrine is "not" Dogma and can be changed...big, big difference. Again, the Church doctrine on the use of Contraception is that it is "intrinsically evil", yet the vast majority of the Catholic laity listens to this teaching...examines their consciences and makes the decision to employ it anyway...are they excommunicated?...barred from communion?...of course not.
The 'current' doctrine/teaching can indeed be changed...the laity is only bound to consider the Church's teachings and then make their own moral judgement.
My reading of your post seems to acknowledge what I'm saying...so, let's just understand the reality of the situation...reasoned people disagree with the Church's teaching on the LGBTQ issue...let's talk about "Why" that is.
Take a closer look at my post)s)...I said that the Church's stand on the LGBTQ community "is"
