Two Catholics Debate Gay Rights

By The Daily Dish
Mar 12 2010, 1:17 AM ET

I recently gave a speech at Princeton University, which has become, because of Robbie George, the intellectual center for the "new natural law" which wants to deny gay relationships any civil recognition at all. I was challenged civilly by a young orthodox Catholic on an earlier part of the speech on what I believe and have argued are the inherent contradictions of natural law on the question of homosexuality.

Anyway, it's a rare moment of civil, honest and Catholic dialogue on this question. We need more of them. I am grateful for the young man who challenged me so intelligently and respectfully. And for Princeton for hosting the speech. I hope to post segments of the whole speech over the coming days.
