that we have an inherent dignity because God created us, Christ died for us, and the Holy Spirit sanctified us in Baptism, making us the temple and the channel through which the love of God might become visible.
that it is our right, our privilege, and our duty to live the sacramental life of the Church, so that we might become more powerful instruments of God's love working among all people.
that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons can exercise their sexuality in a manner that is consonant with Christ's teaching, and that all sexuality should be exercised in an ethically responsible and unselfish way.
we are called to promote the cause of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community by accepting our responsibility to the Church, to society, and to the individual LGBT Catholic.
that we are called to build the reign of God in our time by being a voice for justice in the Church and in society, and by providing a ministry based upon the lived experience of LGBT people, the call of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.
we must bear witness to our faith among the LGBT community, the people of our parishes and dioceses, all Christian believers, and the people of all faiths with whom we live and work.
