"Priest attacked by activists, media, and even his diocese for calling homosexuality a ‘disorder’ - but he won’t back down"
After being viciously attacked by media last June for saying homosexuality is a “psychological disorder,” Mexican priest Fernando Ovalle, chancellor for the Archdiocese of San Luis Potosi, has recently confirmed he stands by his previous comments and is not backing down.
“I didn’t say any lies or anything false,” he said, according to media reports. “That is my stance, it is a disorder, because I’m sharing my view as a pastor from people that come, that ask for help and for God’s guidance,” he explained.
Ovalle first made his comments during a Sunday homily on June 28. By the next day, headlines saying the Archdiocese of San Luis Potosi had made such statements were circulating in mainstream local media.
Juan Jesus Priego, spokesman for the San Luis Potosi Archdiocese, later made declarations to the press saying that Ovalle’s views did not correspond to those of the Church, and according to Pulso, he explained homosexuality had been long taken off the mental disorder manuals, and therefore “we cannot refer to it as a mental disorder but as a sexual preference.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly states that even though the “psychological genesis” of homosexuality “remains largely unexplained,” homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered,” and “under no circumstance can they be approved.”

Better to stand by God, then man.
Heretic! Burn him at the stake after breaking him on the wheel! We will not tolerate any intolerance!
It’s not a disorder. It’s a perversion.
Send him to re-education camp immediately!
Francis will probably sign the order himself.
Wonder what would happen if he called it what it is: MORTAL SIN

Pope Marxist is not going to be happy with this.

..unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:15-16
I think of that dike who was living with ellen degenerate and she wandered into somebody's house wearing only underwear. She said she was Jesus. Clearly, her vile lifestyle drove her insane. I doubt she started out that way.
Nice of the Archdiocese to throw the good padre under the bus. Padre Ovalle should know that telling people the truth these days is punishable.
