To use the sexual faculty in a way which causes the generation of new life to be impossible is to misuse it and is wrong. Genital sexual behavior between two persons of the same sex is such a misuse and is therefore wrong. A True homosexual condition involves an exclusive or predominant attraction to persons of the same sex. To the extent that such a condition is not deliberately willed, it is not a sin. Still, the homosexual condition is considered a disorder since it is a strong tendency toward homosexual acts.
Homosexual acts involve genital activity with persons of the same sex.
In view of every person's basic worth, the Church clearly teaches that those who experience homosexual inclinations should be treated with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Violence, hatred, and rejection directed toward persons is wrong and sinful. The Church's ministry is to be an expression of God's love which excludes no one. This means that the Church calls such persons to chastity, just as she calls all of her members to practice chastity. By practicing this virtue, in conjunction with chaste friendships, prayer, and the frequent reception of the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, those who struggle with homosexual inclinations can attain Christian perfection.
