How we interpret our ecumenical differences and the difference they make depends upon our assessment of differences internal to our respective traditions. This essay argues that hermeneutical shifts in modern Roman Catholic teaching on dignity and human rights fundamentally alter the sense of actions regarded as "intrinsically evil." While these shifts preserve the meaning of the term, they raise serious questions about its applicability to same-sex marriage. Rather than merely assuming that same-sex relations are, per se, intrinsically distorted; Catholic teaching, it is argued, might learn from the Anglican Communion in asking whether the ends of marriage can indeed be fulfilled in such unions
