I love Fr. James Martin and know he means well with this suggestion. However, lots of Catholic churches have "outreaches" for LGBT people, their parents, or both that use the official intrinsically disordered line as their starting point and will not accept any other starting point, e.g., fine the way they are. Some even claim that they are best serving LGBT people by correcting their confusion. Who knows what wonderful things could occur if they parked the catechism and just got to know LGBT people as people? My fear is that the sensible priests have already done that and that those who hew to the official policy are not likely to see the whole person anyway. All they see is the "defect." 

His comments about language are spot-on. His concerns about the firing LGBT people need to be heard far and wide.
