The Moral Justice of Members of the LGBTQ+ in the Light of Three Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity in the Philippine Society

Abstract

The research analyzed the moral justice of members of the LGBTQ+ in the light of three Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity in Philippine Society. The quantitative and qualitative method of research used for 600 respondents: students, parents of the University of Perpetual Help System-Las Pinas campus, and religious members of different congregations. The study results showed that most of the respondents, including the members of different congregations, were personally aware and accepting of the members of the LGBTQ+. Likewise, most of them believed that the members of the LGBTQ+ must be loved, cared for and cherished to be models and leaders of the faith community. On the issue of faith and morals of the members of the LGBTQ+, the study established that most of the participants agreed to get into a civil union, instead of getting into a Sacrament of Marriage, which is a sacred union of men and women only, and not for the same-sex marriage. The data source also showed that most of them believed and allowed that members of the LGBTQ+ must also lead and help to build faith community by Christian Morality. After the findings of this study, it is recommended that a faith community create a Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health Program in all colleges and universities to build strong faith and morals with social justice among faith community members.
