Pressure Intensifies on Catholic Church to Change Teaching That Homosexuality Is ‘Intrinsically Disordered’ 04/20/2021 at 4:53 PM Posted by Kevin Edward White
According to analysts, the continuing push to remove this phrasing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church is rooted in a broader campaign to legitimize homosexual acts.

VATICAN CITY Pressure continues to be exerted on Church leaders to remove the language of Catholic teaching that states that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered” and “under no circumstances can be approved” pressure that critics believe is part of an effort by some groups and individuals to normalize the sinful behavior within the Church.
Schismatic Stratagems
By Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Catholic Thing, April 24, 2021
The present attempt by liberal clerics and laity to compel the Catholic Church to get rid of what they deem unacceptable doctrines on sexual morality necessarily includes efforts to change the language used by the Church in setting out those doctrines in official teaching documents such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church. One strategy employed uses a self-contradictory form of attack: a teaching is dismissed as being unintelligible to modern people because of the use of obscure philosophical language. At the same time the teaching is condemned as cruel and hurtful because those same modern people, it turns out, are perfectly capable of understanding the language and meaning of the teaching. They just don’t like it.
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - On January 24th in the Liturgical calendar in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, we remember St Francis De Sales (1567-1610). This inspiring Christian leader reminds all men and women, no matter what their state in life, occupation or specific vocation, that every Christian is called to holiness.
Citing the words of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt. 5:48) The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us,
All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity. All are called to holiness: Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (CCC #2013)

In a recent CWR essay on the massacre of 10 people in Boulder, Colorado by a Muslim, I made the point that the media, with few exceptions, wants us to believe that jihad has nothing to do with Islam. Typically, reporters and commentators will go to great lengths to distract your attention from the Islamic nature of a jihad attack.
