Huge Scandal: Formerly “Pious” Jesuit Turns Homosexualist
Presently, a huge scandal is shaking the former Catholic Church in Germany. The Vatican did not confirm Jesuit Father Ansgar Wucherpfennig as the rector of the Jesuit Theological College Sankt Georgen in Frankfurt, the place where Pope Francis attempted in 1986 to write a doctoral thesis. Wucherpfennig was refused because he blesses gay couples and doubts the biblical teaching on homosexuality. Local Limburg bishop Georg Bätzing is on his side, and so are the oligarch media. Bätzing told the media that he expects the Vatican to capitulate. And indeed, a Vatican press officer has now declared that the scrutiny process for Wucherpfennig is “still ongoing”.
Wucherpfennig invokes Francis
Talking to the German state TV, Wucherpfennig justified his homosexualist misconduct with Pope Francis’ known homosexualist statements. In the same program, his Provincial, Father Johannes …More

Homosexuality is by definition, a behaviour disorder.
I agree.
Any other 'label' [i.e.mental illness] removes the notion of responsibility for ones behaviour.

Mental illness does not "remove the notion of responsibility" for an action. It simply mitigates it as it does for homosexuality. This is demonstrated in cases where a murder has been committed but the defendant claims (through his/her lawyer) to be mentally ill. If the mental illness has been verified through MEDICAL testing, the punishment will be less severe because of his/her mental illness.

Or, as the Church perceives it, a sin of the flesh.
Irrelevant.

I am talking science including behaviorism and mental health and you want to add “sin” and the “Church.” I would caution anyone who seeks out or refers to “Church teaching” on homosexuality to be extremely careful that the information they gather from “the Church” is factually true and not some modernist self-serving crap which ESPECIALLY today can even originate from very high placed sources.

For MEDICAL departures from the norm (homosexuality is obviously a medical aberration/departure from the norm) I’d prefer to seek out medical sources and not the Church.
Sin, the Church the devil etc are recognizably different and not medical in nature. For this reason these subjects must involve different discussions entirely.

When one realizes that homosexuality is still a mental illness and should be treated as such (despite “a vote” to the contrary) you will have a better understanding of the reasons why homosexuality has become so prevalent and even accepted today. Still homosexuality is the curse of not only the Catholic Church but society at large.

When one realizes that homosexuality is still a mental illness and should be treated as such (despite “a vote” to the contrary) you will have a better understanding of the reasons why homosexuality has become so prevalent and even accepted today. Still homosexuality is the curse of not only the Catholic Church but society at large.

To come to this realization one must understand the reason why homosexuality was removed from the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual – the APA’s - American Psychiatric Association - standard classification of their so-called mental disorders - click link below). The DSM is used by mental health workers in the USA and other countries. Yet, we are bombarded with gay this and gay that as if it has become a perfectly acceptable alternative lifestyle despite its earlier classification as a mental illness. Gay TV shows, the opinions from gay movie stars, gay entertainers and even gay Catholic rectors, priests and a corrupt hierarchy along with a complicit media that fosters rather than challenges and seeks to treat this intrusive mental disease. Is it innate or acquired? That doesn't matter any more and it certainly has no bearing on its legitimacy. Homosexuality is a mental disease which should be and can be treated.

Homosexuality: The Mental Illness That Went Away

Added to the fact that it still is, in fact, a mental illness despite a bogus “vote” to remove it from the DSM, there is also this.
