Description

Friends of Courage is a grassroots movement, approved by Fr. Check of Courage International, created for ALL PEOPLE who wish to share the message that the Catholic Church is a place for ALL people to call home, regardless of their sexual attractions and or inclinations, and that we are ALL invited to grow in the virtue of chastity. Friends of Courage upholds Catholic teaching in that: 1) We don't specifically choose our sexual attractions and or inclinations and therefore we should not harbor guilt or shame for their mere existence. 2) God loves all of His children, regardless of where we are today, or the journeys we have taken thus far. 3) The call for all Christians is to be open to growing in the virtue of chastity, at all stages of life, even within marriage. 4) We all have beautiful gifts to offer this world and we are encouraged to charitably share our gifts for the glory of God and His Kingdom - such that others may see the true beauty of the faith - while ourselves being the living examples of God's love - while also being living examples of the transformation that takes place when we access the Sacraments regularly (especially Reconciliation). 5) We are to strive to exemplify Christian virtues (especially humility, chastity, obedience), and if we fail at that we are especially called to exemplify fidelity to Christ without delay. 6) We are all called to acknowledge the existence of our attractions, whatever they might be, for that is a necessary part of being honest with ourselves. 7) We must also acknowledge that we have the ability to self-identify and define ourselves in a way that is first and foremost anchored on our relationship with our infinite God, above all else of this finite world. In Friends of Courage, while being fully honest with ourselves about the existence of our attractions and or inclinations, we see ourselves and our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ not according to just one facet of our beings (our sexualities), but rather first and foremost according to our value and worth as beloved children of God, above all other things. We are first and foremost sons and daughters of the Most High, and we refuse to be reduced to only one facet of our beings by subscribing or ascribing labels onto ourselves and others that are reductionist in nature. We realize that how we self-identify and define ourselves is a specific choice, and that specific choice greatly influences our self-concept and what we perceive to be fulfilling. We uphold the truth that "the infinite" is greater than "the finite" and for that reason, we choose to elevate infinite God above finite sexuality in how we specifically choose to self-identify and define ourselves. We urgently invite all Catholics (regardless of sexuality) to join this movement - to help people world-wide see that the Church is a place of love, and a place that invites us to journey towards greater truth and self-honesty. Please share this page with all other Catholics who you think will support this mission. Blessings in Christ -
