The Second Vatican Council developed “the doctrine of recent popes on the inviolable rights of the human person and the constitutional order of society”(Declaration on Religious Freedom, 1). This week the U.S. Supreme Court defended L.G.B.T. people and their right to work: they cannot be fired for belonging to that community.
A reasoned America Magazine editorial noted: “The vocation of Catholics is to exercise moral suasion to influence the opinion of the citizens of the United States.” Persuasion is not force; “suasion” respects human dignity and freedom.
Editorial: L.G.B.T. discrimination protections are not a catastrophe for Catholicism. https://t.co/blF7fIP9jW— America Magazine (@americamag) June 18, 2020
