The other day my friend started a facebook group basically about gay awareness at our high school (Catholic) and he posted some excerpts from The Catechism of the Catholic Church which is like their supplement to the Bible and I just found one that was particularly interesting:
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. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
It actually refers to homosexuality as a “condition.” Really?? This is why I am no longer a part of the Catholic Church. I just can’t believe a global institution can be this outdated and ignorant.
