Christ's resurrection is not a miracle. The God who through the Son assumed human nature, after his death on the cross reassumes his divine and immor… - Carlo Maria Martini

I believe that each of us has a non-believer and a believer in us, who talk to each other inside, questioning each other, constantly sending pointed and disturbing questions back to each other. The non-believer in me disquiets the believer in me and vice versa.

Often the language used to talk about God is stunted and feeble, sometimes awkward, sometimes generic; one easily divides into verticalists and horizontalists, traditionalists and progressives, one makes judgements that, in the light of the Gospel, are at least inadequate.

I personally believe that God created us man and woman and that therefore traditional moral doctrine has good reasons on this point. Of course, I am prepared to admit that in some cases good faith, lived experience, contracted habits, the unconscious and probably even a certain native inclination may lead one to choose for oneself a type of life with a same-sex partner. In today's world, such behaviour can therefore be neither demonised nor ostracised.
