Several GetReligion readers have sent in the URL for a Washington Post story that ran last weekend about the formation of a group for gays, lesbians and, one would assume, bisexuals on the campus of the Catholic University of America .

Some preachers think that there are two legitimate options in preaching, but to go further would be wrong. Legitimate would be to exhort listeners – that is, to appropriately pressure their will to obey the Lord, respond to the gospel, etc. Legitimate would be to educate the listeners – that is, to feed information to their minds so that they know more and can therefore make better decisions. But the next step? Well, many people think the next step beyond the will and the mind is to address the emotions, and that, of course, would be wrong. It must be wrong to address the emotions since that can so easily seem like manipulation. I would agree that it can become manipulation. I would agree that manipulation is wrong. But I still think our preaching has to go deeper than mind and will. How?
