If the man was not willing to admit his sexual preference was a sin, [...]

I don't believe that a mere preference can be viewed as a sin per se.

According to Church doctine, since the Fall, Man has had an innate tendency to sin. That, alone, is not an offense against God. However, acting on those tendencies can be considered sinful.

I am not an authority on Catholic doctrine, so please forgive me if I've mistated the matter.

Regards,
