Oh sorry I misunderstood your post then. What I was trying to emphasize is that yes there might be an initial attraction towards someone but as a friendship develops it seems that the attractions lessen (at least for me). You are right there is a difference. So I guess I don’t understand exactly the point you were trying to make and I apologize for misunderstanding it.
This old canard? How many times does this false objection have to be swatted down?
Have you ever stopped for just a second and consider the utopia you’re trying to create is the problem? Broken homes were rare when society actually understood what marriage meant.
Trying to give up sin would seem to me to be a very noble aim. Unless of course you are saying giving up sin is simple and does not involve sacrifice of desire. You must have obtained earthly perfection (apart from being glib)
Disordered I think is the term employed by the Church. If it were intrinsically evil I’m sure that the Magisterium would point that out. It’s isn’t for you to try to add superlatives really is it
Not disorded at all. In the New Testament, St. Paul teaches that homosexual acts are not in keeping with our being created in God’s image and so degrade and undermine our authentic dignity as human beings. He tells how homosexual practices can arise among people who erroneously worship the creature rather than the Creator:
Well your argument isn’t really with me. I think that the catechism and Pope Benedict described it in the terms I outlined but if you prefer a different approach then clearly you know more than me
This is tooken directly from what the church teaches. Look for yourself.usccb.org/about/doctrine/publications/homosexual-inclination-guidelines-general-principles.cfm
This is the churcjes doctrine. Period. St paul himself.
It is unfortunate to say or admit, but only when one gets close enough to this lifestyle, it becomes apparent that this is indeed a package of destructive ideas and behaviors. From afar one can choose to believe the whitewashing and nice packaging by the same folks who were promoting cigarettes back then, saying over and over until it became almost a truism: “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should”. Only after the damage was undeniable about smoking did some backtracking take place but the tobacco business still earns tons of money. The devastation that this particular agenda will bring about to society is far worse as it undermines the very institutions that hold it together - the family.
Objectively sinful. Or intrinsically disordered. You however use your own terminology which I think we should seek to avoid. The terminology employed by the catechism is fine for me I don’t think going medieval is helpful really
A priest cannot lose ordination. As with Melchisedec, priesthood is forever. Ordination consecrates a man’s hands for life.
Forgive me I can’t help myself but there is no such word as “tooken” and evidently you missed this from your link
I don’t believe you understand what disordered means. At any rate both the Catechism and the link you provided calls it disordered.
Medievil? We are taught the gospel for.todays truth. Regardless of the age. Jesus is the etermal word God even for today. If it wasnt it wouldn’t be called christian. Smh
You misunderstand. The gospel is as relevant today as ever. It’s you I meant was medieval

Is that a quote from Voltaire in your signature? I thought the Church condemned Voltaire’s writings as heretical. Indeed, he is listed in the “Index Librorum Prohobitum”.
