Here is Christie’s statement on CNN:
“Well, my religion says it’s a sin,” Christie said on ‘Piers Morgan Tonight.’ “But for me, I don’t. I’ve always believed that people are born with the predisposition to be homosexual. And so, I think if someone is born that way, it’s very difficult to say then that that’s a sin. But I understand that my church says that. But for me personally, I don’ t look upon someone who is homosexual as a sinner.”
Actually, this shows that Christie does not understand Catholic teaching, so he’s just another not well catechized Catholic. The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activity is a sin, not the inclination. The inclination is a disorder. However it is caused, an inclination to a particular type of sin is not sin itself.
Actually, I'd have to disagree.
He himself admitted that he knows what Catholic teaching is.
And he himself said that he chooses to disagree with it and ignore it.
That's not being poorly catechized. That's being outright rebellious.
