The article quotes the Diocese as saying: "The main issue centers around scandal and confusion (...confusing or weakening people regarding the teachings of the Catholic Church in regards to sacred doctrine and the natural law)..."  The Diocese wanted to send the instructions to priests confidentially.   Interesting.  Apparently the best way to avoid confusion among the people is to keep the poor lambs in the dark as to what the teachings are.  I wonder whether this means that the LGBT people in Madison are on double secret probation.  [For those of you too young to understand this reference, see the movie Animal House.]  Of course, this is not an official policy...it's more of a guideline than a rule, but it does conform with the mind of the Bishop.  No confusion there.  But, a lot of Catholics aren't really confused.  They just think a lot of what the Church teaches on sex is wrong.  In this case it is also hurtful.
