Courage / EnCourage


Courage & EnCourage are respectively two spiritual support groups helping Catholic men and women – and their families – to live in accordance with the Catholic Church's pastoral teaching on homosexuality.

"The human person, made in the image and likeness of God, can hardly be adequately described by a reductionist reference to his or her sexual orientation. Everyone living on the face of the earth has personal problems and difficulties – but challenges to growth, strengths, talents and gifts as well. Today, the Church provides a badly needed context for the care of the human person when she refuses to consider the person a "heterosexual" or a "homosexual" and insists that every person has a fundamental identity: a creature of God, and by grace, His child and heir to eternal life." Letter from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith – October 1986
