"The guidelines condemn discrimination against gays and say it's not a sin to be attracted to someone of the same sex — only to act on those feelings."

So if I understand this correctly, if a male Catholic is "attracted" to a female, it is a sin regardless of whether he acts on it or not (LUST). But, if a male Catholic is "attracted" (presumably in the same carnal manner) to a male, he must act on it for it to be a sin?
Guess I would need to be a Bishop to understand this.

What isn't there to understand attration does not equal lust.
