Baptists & Catholics in news about Homosexuals

MSNBC has two stories today about how the Catholic church and a North Carolina Baptist Convention have refined their positions on homosexuality.

1. Catholic bishops OK gay-ministry guidelines. "BALTIMORE -Roman Catholic bishops in the United States on Tuesday adopted new guidelines on gay outreach that are meant to be welcoming, while also telling gays to be celibate since the church considers their sexuality 'disordered.'"
2. N.C. Baptist delegates approve anti-gay policy. "GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina voted Tuesday to cut ties with congregations that affirm or approve of homosexuality, formally adopting a rigid anti-gay policy that allows the group to investigate whether member churches are gay-friendly. . . .
   '[H]omosexuality is the only sin that has its own advocacy group,' convention spokesman Norman Jameson said."
