Robby George's Invitation

Robby writes, in his post below:

"Let's together give a ringing affirmation of the Church's teachings on torture, capital punishment, abortion, and marriage and sexual morality."

The Church's official teaching on "sexual morality" holds, inter alia, that it is immoral for anyone *either* to engage in any species of sex act that of its nature ("inherently") cannot be procreative (e.g., oral sex) *or* to engage in any deliberately contracepted sex act with the intention of preventing the act from being procreative.

This teaching lacks credibility for most Catholics in the United States--and, I think, with good reason:  I concur in the judgment of many Catholic theologians that this teaching is seriously mistaken.  (The theological literature on this is enormous.)

Now, I know Robby disagrees with me about this, but that Robby disagrees doesn't begin to explain why he would issue an invitation that includes the Church's teaching on "sexual morality".  After all, Robby *knows* that very many of us cannot in conscience affirm that teaching.  So I am struggling to discern what Robby is trying to accomplish in issuing the invitation he did.  Robby?
