What else can be done to assist people coping with same sex attraction?
Every Catholic experiencing same sex attractions should have access to mental health professionals, support groups, priests, and spiritual directors who unequivocally support Church teachings on homosexuality and all aspects of sexual morality. Courage, for individuals with SSA, and Encourage, for families of individuals with SSA, are excellent support groups faithful to the Churchs teaching. Discretion is essential in evaluating support groups for SSA since many oppose the Churchs teaching on sexual morality.
