Specification 2.3 · Paper 3
A family in which a child or children are brought up by two parents of the same sex.
Revise: Purpose and Importance of FamiliesSame-sex-parent families have two parents of the same sex. This differs from the Catholic ideal of marriage between a man and a woman. The Church's judgement about a relationship must nevertheless be distinguished from the dignity of the people involved.
Use qualified wording such as ‘some Christians’. Christians do not all respond to single-parent, blended or same-sex-parent families in the same way.

A family in which a same-sex couple brings up children.
Revise: Purpose and Importance of the FamilyA same-sex-parent family is one in which a same-sex couple brings up children. Catholic teaching does not regard the couple’s relationship as marriage, because its understanding of marriage joins a man and a woman in a relationship open to procreation. This explains its objection to the structure; it is not a reason to treat children as responsible for their parents’ circumstances or to abandon a family’s need for care.
