Working Document "Misleading" and "False Flattery" - Archbishop Chaput
His argument: The Church doesn’t categorise people by their “sexual appetites”. “There is no such thing as an ‘LGBTQ Catholic’ or a ‘transgender Catholic’ or a ‘heterosexual Catholic’”, he explained.
Chaput further stated that it is "misleading" when the document calls young people the “watchmen and seismographs of every age.”
According to Chaput this is “false flattery” because “in reality, young people are too often products of the age” and are shaped “by a culture that is both deeply appealing and essentially atheist”.
