Globalization which combines world together has been caused by the development of mass media and networks of information. Nowadays, the culture is able to be shared to people and nations all around the world through rapid progress. This phenomenon influenced the existing culture and traditions and helped to form a new world view, on the other hand, it caused the confusion of senses of values. It has also appeared to be various form in the Korean society.
It is true that the culture of life and sex has been developed by sharing many varied information, but also abused in many cases. Particularly, the culture of sex causing negative effect is threatening the absolute value of sex which has been kept in the tradition and religion.
Above all, the dispute about homosexual union legalization has already jeopardized to the value of Catholic Church on sex, marriage and family. The confusion of the value of sex and family that the Church is trying to solve is not only the matter of religion but of all society, because it is foundation of maintenance and development of society. Nevertheless, many Koreans are still avoiding this matter with being ignoring or feeling burdened.
On the contrary, some are trying to make an approach to homosexuality to get new point of views, They are trying to get the legalization of homosexual union to win public recognition on homosexuality in the society.
Under these circumstances, I tried to consider the matter of homosexual union legalization in the views of Catholic Church. First, I will inquire the reason of homosexuality to find out the right standpoint about homosexual. Then, I will grasp the realities how supporters of homosexual union legalization are playing a role in our society to understand their claim and its justification. Subsequently, I will examine the point of view of the Church about homosexual and homosexual union legalization and show the evident reason why the Church is against homosexual act and homosexual union legalization. Then, I will suggest comprehensively some points how Christians should deal with homosexual and homosexual union legalization in the eyes of Catholic Church.
I hope that my research would contribute to understand homosexual better in the eyes of the Church. At the same time, it would be great if my research might help not only Christians but all people to take a better viewpoint about the essence of sex, marriage and family, and also the reason why homosexual union legalization should be objected.
