[Mrs. Don-o]

Neither "the Pope" nor "the Catholic Church" condoned homosexuality nor supported nor excused homosexual conduct, which we know to be wrong. Christ teaches us through the Church that:

"Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved."

"This inclination... is objectively disordered"

(Cited: Catechism, Para. 2357-59 (Link).)

So the inclination, though it is not a sin in itself, is "objectively disordered," and the conduct is a sin which under no circumstances can be approved.

If you find any Catholic going against that, let me know and I will go after them hammer and tongs. OK?

Thanks Mrs. Don-o

This is the catholic teaching on homosexuality

I will be surprised if the pope does mot come out with this statement in the next day or so

It seems to me you are playing semantics.

Are there any other inclinations that are "objectively disordered" which your pope has publicly announced "is not the problem" and those who have the disordered inclination "should be integrated into society"?

Or is this the first type of "disordered inclination" that he has treated in this manner?
