"Silence from Catholic leaders in the wake of attacks like the Club Q shooting reveals a failure to recognize the role of Christians in degrading and dehumanizing LGBTQ people. Reiteration of LGBTQ identities as inherently disordered, unnatural, or evil—even when cloaked in words that seek to console the victims but not “condone” their “lifestyles”—justifies and reinforces the attitudes of homophobia and transphobia that inspire and fuel assaults on the LGBTQ community in general. No words, inhospitable words, even critical words for those eager to condemn and cast stones at others: All these approaches ignore the warm words of Jesus Christ for the stranger, the poor, and the outcast and his questioning."

Language about LGBTQ people has moral consequences

Dehumanizing rhetoric is an assault on human dignity, and contrary to the gospel.

@StVitus
The Church has condemned violence again and again. While absolutely not condoning a sinful lifestyle, the Church has always supported all people as having equal human dignity. All faithful Catholics pray for the souls of those murdered and the full recovery of those injured.

We also pray for "Mx. Anderson Aldrich" the disturbed "non-binary" man who did this, that he may understand the harm of his actions and repent.

UScatholic.org is not a reliable source for information about the Church.
