If by use of the term "orientation" you mean to incorporate the modern understanding into the Pauline discourse, you should understand the two are mutually exclusive and can not be reconciled.

Of course they are. You make my point for me.

Scripture does not speak to homosexual orientation, since Paul could not make the distinction.

The Catholic Church makes the distinction, and rightly so.

The Catholic Church makes the distinction, and rightly so.

Actually, if I recall my catechism correctly, the Catholic Church's position is to leave the question open, made moot by the fact that the act is disordered in and of itself.
