Intrinsic Evil

I don't know how Catholics will react or not, to the bishops use of the term "Intrinsic Evil" to describe same sex unions, called marriage by the couple and many others.  I will wait and see what kind of questions I get or responses I hear from people.  Will the response be like the one on artificial contraception back in the late 60s?  Some left, some stayed and some ignored the teaching.  Catholics tend not so much to "leave" as to stop attending worship services and participating in Church community.  I notice that Mormons seem to formally leave the church over their leaderships outlook on same sex couples.  We will see.

  2. Intrinsic Evil? Why would God make a human with the desire to love another of the same sex if He thought it was evil?

    1. Answer: God created every human with a free will; to choose good or to choose evil.

  3. "Intrinsic evil"? I'd say the language is pretty strong. The language the church has used for many decades is, "Homosexual acts are intrinsically DISORDERED." Is there a difference in terms? Idk?
