GAY UNSELOR'S FIRG BY INDIANAPOLIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL PERMTED BY FERAL APPEALS URT

Catholic wrer Marc Barn has stated this view wh particular force and nsistency, rejectg not only the e of “homosexual” but also of “heterosexual”: “It is by the urgg of the Catholic Church that I refe, reject, and trample on the label heterosexual. But the claim that the Catholic Church sists that we mt “refe, reject, and trample on” the discsn of sexualy a given set of terms”as “heterosexual” or “homosexual””sorely mistak Catholic teachg.

The standard support offered for this argument is om the 1986 document Homosexualatis Problema: “Today, the Church provis a badly need ntext for the re of the human person when she ref to nsir the person as a “heterosexual” or a “homosexual” and sists that every person has a fundamental Inty: the creature of God, and by grace, his child and heir to eternal life. The most basic problem is that the argument is based on a mistranslatn; the relevant text of the Lat reads, “cum renu persona unice nsirare ratnem ‘heterosexualem’ vel ‘homosexualem’”(emphasis add). The document do not pos an absolute divi between scribg a person as heterosexual or homosexual, and regnizg that the most fundamental tth that n be told about them is that they are of God.

To say that we mt pletely drop the tegory of homosexual orientatn favor of the tegory of human person, risks implyg that one thks the tegory of “homosexual” or “gay” patible wh the tegory of “human person. Ined, the very tle monly ed for Homosexualatis Problema ”“Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons””shows that far om nmng the term “homosexual, ” the Church even self. The absurdy of the notn that this would ntradict scribg onelf as gay should be clear; the scriptn of onelf as gay or homosexual patently pruppos the acceptance that one has a bodily inty as male or female, and that one’s relatn to others is mediated through his or her bodily inty as male or female.
