Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 415.
(Youcat
answer) God created man as male and female and destined them for each other in
a bodily way as well. The Church accepts without reservation those who
experience homosexual feelings. They should not be discriminated against
because of that. At the same time, the Church declares that all homosexual
relations in any form are contrary to the order of creation.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 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.
Reflecting and meditating
(CCC Comment) (CCC 2359)
Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that
teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship,
by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely
approach Christian perfection.
