quote “Christie said he believes people are born gay and that homosexuality is not a sin. That view is inconsistent with his Catholic faith, which teaches that homosexual acts are sins”

there is nothing inconsistent about that statement.

you can believe that someone is born gay
you can also believe that homosexuality is not a sin.

the same as you can believe that someone is born straight, and that being straight is not a sin.

BEING homosexual is no more a sin than being a red blooded man. ACTING on that impulse is the sin, just as acting on your hetrosexual impulses outside of marriage is a sin.

I don't get why people don't get this.

See above discussion on thoughts of adultry. Action alone does not define homosexuality. Therapists deal with attitudes and proclivities. There is a homosexual attitude that precedes the act. Why do you not see this?

Well it stands to reason that MOST homosexuals WILL act on their desires, just as heterosexuals do. I don’t think there is any argument anymore over whether one just IS or whether he acts on it. Most people have sex in their lifetime and usually more than just once. So let’s say a homosexual finds Jesus and wants help from a Christian therapist to deal with his urges and/or convert out of a gay relationship, now the therapist has to say nope sorry can’t help you there. I don’t imagine this will stop with just mental health professionals. I do believe eventually it’ll work its way into law that forbids clergy to counsel against it as well.
