But it doesn’t matter. Alcoholism and Schizophrenia also are predetermined or at least predisposed before birth. They are disorders too.
Gay marriage OK because homosexuals born that way and deserve to have romantic relationships too?

Like rats in a maze The Liar has people spinning out in all directions tripping up on their own thological hypothesis all while The Liar is shaking the maze. The Liar is trying to confuse us or even just create a speck of doubt. The Liar is biding his time while those who do The Liar’s work chip away at the Truth.
The answer to the question is No.
Catecism #2359, #2396, #2357. Learn the faith.

“The Liar” reference reminds me of the character Margret White in the book (and movie) Carrie
What a sad way to view the world. A bit like Archy Bunker when he would thank God “for this here rotten world” he created.

That’s just crazy. Homosexuals are those who fear homosexuals?
This thread is getting totally out of control. Please, court14, focus your question or criticism (I don’t even know which one it is) in a concise and productive way so we can continue.

Actually no and here is what the experts have to say…
"Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function produced by a certain arrest of sexual development. Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals, several of the greatest men among them (Plato, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.). It is a great injustice to persecute homosexuality as a crime, and cruelty too…
Freud (1935)
The research on homosexuality is very clear.Homosexuality is neither mental illness normoral depravity.Itis simply the way a minority of our population expresses human loveand sexuality.Study after study documents the mental health of gay men and lesbians.Studies of judgment,stability,reliability,and social and vocational adaptiveness all showthat gay men and lesbians function every bit as well as heterosexuals …Researchfindings suggest that efforts to repair homosexuals are nothing more than socialprejudice garbed in psychological accouterments.
American Psychological Association (1994)
No, lesbian, gay, and bisexual orientations are not disorders. Research has found no inherent association between any of these sexual orientations and psychopathology. Both heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior are normal aspects of human sexuality. Both have been documented in many different cultures and historical eras. Despite the persistence of stereotypes that portray lesbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several decades of research and clinical experience have led all mainstream medical and mental health organizations in this country to conclude that these orientations represent normal forms of human experience. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual relationships are normal forms of human bonding. Therefore, these mainstream organizations long ago abandoned classifications of homosexuality as a mental disorder.
American Psychological Association. (2008).
No. All major professional mental health organizations have gone on record to affirm that homosexuality is not a mental disorder. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association’s Board of Trustees removed homosexuality from its official diagnostic manual, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Second Edition (DSM II). The action was taken following a review of the scientific literature and consultation with experts in the field. The experts found that homosexuality does not meet the criteria to be considered a mental illness.
American Psychiatric Association (2000)
*Social stigmatization of lesbian,gay,and bisexual people is widespread and is a primary motivating factor in leading some people to seek sexual orientation changes.Sexual orientation conversion therapies assume that homosexual orientation is both pathological and freely chosen.No data demonstrate that reparative or conversion therapies are effective,and in fact they maybe harmful.NASW believes social workers have the responsibility to clients to explain the prevailing knowledge concerning sexual orientation and the lackof data reporting positive outcomes with reparative therapy.NASW discourages social workers from providing treatments designed to change sexual orientation or from referring practitioners or programs that claim to do so. *

Thank you so much for sharing that information with us. I have wondered where the information was, and now I found it. There is so much garbage that anti Catholic leaders and writers have shoved down our throats and are trying to shove down the throats of our children. I am a homeschool mom because I want my children to learn the truth…not political correctness!!!
There is a huge problem in this world. People believe that if you repeat a lie often enough, the lie should be established and taught to be truth. Everyone who is smart enough to do research recognizes it as a lie, but once mainstream media accept it as truth, political correctness demands that no one should have the right to doubt that it is truth.
I give You praise and thanks, Lord Jesus, Saviour of the World, for the hunger for the total TRUTH which You have blessed me with.

Mercy and Love we must show but we do not condone the sin. Sin is a lie and lies come from The Liar. So full of pride the light of Lucifer blinded himself and he’ll take anyone with him. Human life is short. Nothing compared to eternity. The suffering of repentant homosexuals is not lost on God. He knows.
Pray for them.

God gave us a soul different from all other living things…that we may use reason and judgement…and not be slaves of instinct.
Just because something may feel good to our senses does not imply that it is good for our bodies, souls, lives, relationships, responsibilities, society.
Alcoholics and crack addicts think it feels good to get high…but that does not make it right or acceptable.

Yes, Genesis 1 and following…
The Liar keeps shaking the maze and watches the rats tripping overselves looking for the slightest stumble. A weakness, a chink in the armour. Laying in wait to exploit it. A stubborn doubt in doctrine is answered with the truth and prayer. The truth has been revealed. Now we pray.

Cara-
This is one of the more recent studies on Sexual Orientation. I will see if I can locate other current research. Pretty cool stuff (although I am a bit of a science geek!)
