Forget for the moment that the Douay Catechism is not official Church Teaching and pay attention to the words.

Douay Catechism: Nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuality.

Catholic Catechism:"...homosexual practices."

Homosexuality is not in of itself a sin. Homosexual action is defined as a sin.
