The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual inclinations are objectively

disordered.

Should that language be changed?

Next on Catholic Answers Focus.

Hello and welcome again to Catholic answers focus I am Cy Kellett your host and this

week we tackle a somewhat difficult subject and we will try to do so with intellectual integrity and

it's also a very emotional subject so I want to acknowledge that for many people this is

an emotional subject but the mode we're going to take today is to try to intellectually work through this to find a reasonable answer.

The question of the day has to do with the wording in the Catechism of the Catholic Church about what it calls homosexual

tendencies in paragraph 2 358 in the catacism it says the following 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.

Of course the words that produce such a great outpouring of other words trying to qualify them, categorize them, in some cases challenge

them are objectively disordered.

And so the question on the table today here for us at Catholic Answers Focus is are the is that

wording acceptable or should it be changed here to help us address that is just the

man you would want answering such questions, Carlo Broussard.
