Thinking about the Christian homosexual couple, its commitments to fidelity and its fruitfulness, in short, its morality, remains a self-worried enterprise in Catholic theology. Indeed, such a project is at crossroads with Christian identity, with the representation of the legitimate couple, with the otherness to be discerned, with the covenant to be built, with authority to be determined. At this point, the index of baptism is precious when it comes to the paths of life that are decided by two persons, directed towards fidelity and fruitfulness. As such, homosexual partnerships can resonate with baptism to move forward towards their own way, whilst focusing on the strong and original theological acceptance of human dignity. It is a matter of taking a breath and making ethics available to all.
