spathariossa Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 [quote name='Apotheoun' date='Jan 10 2005, 03:44 AM'] Both of the documents issued by the CDF on this matter are clear, the homosexual condition is an objective disorder, it is not morally neutral, it is also, as the CDF has declared, a "pathological constitution," and must be treated as such.

Apotheoun Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 [quote name='spathariossa' date='Jan 10 2005, 01:40 AM'] Not the DSM as a Diagnostic and Statistics Manual written by secular psychiatrists for secular psychiatrists. I'm not saying the Church is wrong, I'm saying the DSM is a non sequitor if your argument is that homosexuality is fundamentally wrong to begin with. [/quote] You may wish to differentiate between "secular" truth and "religious" truth, but I will not subscribe to that heresy. Truth is one. The homosexual condition, if it perdures over time exhibits a pathological constitution, and as such it should be treated as a mental disorder, a defect of the soul (psyche), and the person afflicted with this condition should receive proper treatment, both spiritual and psychological. God bless, Todd
