Thoughts, temptations, and urges unacted upon in any way, such as viewing pornography, and other icky practices ;-), are not considered sinful in present-day catholic moral teaching.

Yeah, I was OTL on that one. It's not what I meant at all.

I meant it like this:

Thoughts, temptations, and urges unacted upon in any way, ARE NOT considered sinful in present-day catholic moral teaching (if you read old catholic books you will get a different impression). Acting upon such thoughts, such as viewing pornography, fondling, and other icky practices up to and including sexual intimacy with a person of the same sex are considered sinful.

Somehow I don't think you will like what I said anyway and your insult was noted.
