By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing - ... as Catholics, we should not let ourselves be deluded by ideological artifices. When you casually accept the use of a term (LGBT) that was created for ideological purposes – and therefore applaud yourself for your humanity – you’re very close to intellectual and moral shipwreck... To take the term “homophobia” literally, you’d have to believe that anyone who rejects or resists what recently was taken to be a sexual aberration is himself suffering from a mental disorder (phobia).
