ME: American Catholic Catechism is wrong in part, and the Pope has ordered the American Bishops repeatedly to change it to comply with Catholic teaching.

YOU: I have the latest version, which was approved by John Paul II, and it says exactly what the earlier version said about homosexuality.

THE EARLIER VERSION THAT THE POPE DECLARED BLASPHEMOUS: CCC, 2358: The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial...

THE LATEST VERSION (WHICH DOES NOT SAY EXACTLY WHAT THE EARLIER VERSION SAID ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY BECAUSE THE POPE MADE THEM CORRECT IT): CCC, 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial...

I put the tricky parts in bold so that you could see the difference. I know this has all been very difficult for you, but I'm sincerely trying to help. The American-make-it-up-as-you-go-along-catholic-church puts out so much cleverly evil propaganda and false teaching, that it is sometimes dificult to find the truth. But here we are, muddling our way through the morass. You asked for a citation, and here it is.

That is a HUGE difference. Thanks for pointing it out. I new the Catechism had come out in a final revised edition (the new green dustcover), but I didn't realize that there were such dramatic errors to be corrected.
