I found one quote in this article problematic: What we object to is not that there are such arguments, but that they are the only arguments, and what we have now is not only that these are the only arguments, but that those who hold them deny that there could possibly be any other arguments. I am not saying I agree with either side, I simply have both sides of this argument in my family (my brother is gay AND a wonderful person) and this subject comes up frequently. Aren’t Catholics guilty of this as well? Both sides of this arguent have problems admitting that another side could possibly be correct…
I take issue with either side of ANY argument who cannot accept that others may hold a different belief from their own. If Fr. Longenecker takes issue with non Catholics who hold there could not be “any other arguments” aside from their views, then shouldn’t he understand people who feel Catholic beliefs are not “the only arguments” for or against something?
