“I suffer from the consequences of these seductive theories that surround the Church; I am saddened by the various false and destructive interpretations that seek to counteract the wealth generated over the centuries by the Fathers of the Church, in the catechism, and in the magisterium,” wrote Di Tove, who shared his testimony in the book “I Was Gay Once.”
The former homosexual activist said he was distressed “by the confusion that this document has generated, born in a social context in which certain worldly falsehoods without foundation try to ride the wave of such ‘pastoral proposals’ to affirm the naturalness of relationships that we know well are not born in the heart of God.”
Di Tolve said the declaration puts the Church in a vulnerable position and “lends itself to those who work in the field of communications and who try to fight our faith by destroying everything that is “scandalous” for the world: “chastity, purity, truth.”
“It’s not just about people with same-sex attraction,” he explained, “but the whole society risks being confirmed in the error it is already living in: Many young people, having conformed to this mentality of a fluid society, reject marriage, even civil marriage.”
Di Tolve said he wanted “to send out a humble and sincere cry for help, asking Pope Francis on my knees and in the name of all these brothers of mine who suffer and offer their suffering every day for the good of the Church: Help us, Holy Father, we need fathers, we want to feel encouraged and blessed.”
