"Pro-gay Vatican consultant: Catechism teaching on homosexuality ‘needs to be updated’"
lifesitenews.com
"The Jesuit priest recently given an influential Vatican post thinks the Church’s language in regard to homosexual acts needs to be changed.
Father James Martin, editor-at-large of the Jesuit-run America magazine, said the Catechism of the Catholic Church’s use of the term intrinsically disordered in regard to homosexual acts is 'needlessly hurtful.' He offered “differently ordered” as preferable, because it could express the concept 'more pastorally.'
Asked whether he affirmed and agreed with the Catechism’s 'teaching or language' that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, Father Martin replied that he is not a theologian, but he 'would say some of the language used in the Catechism on that topic needs to be updated, given what we know now about homosexuality.'
His response did not clarify what understanding of homosexuality he referred to, or when or how it came about.
Father Martin is a prolific public supporter of LGBT issues who is very vocal on social media and in other media outlets. He has said that some saints in heaven may be gay."
