If one were to read Teilhard (or even the later T S Eliot, who seemed to write as an Anglo-Catholic Mystic - the C of E, like the RC, is a broad church after all, and Catholic in its foundation, despite its later Protestantism) one would come to the conclusion that Catholicism was a mystical religion less worried about homosexuality or indeed any worldly sin, and more interested in redemption and merging with the godhead.
Then again, if you were to look at liberation theology one would think that Catholicism was a neo-Marxist social movement with religious underpinnings.
Like all other institutions, The Catholic Church has its good and bad points. The trick is to try to get the powers that be to recognise the bad bits, and junk them.
