"A person is not defined by a sexual orientation," said Bochanski.  

I thought defining men and women as having a heterosexual orientation (by natural law created by God) was the foundation of Catholic teaching on the marriage and the family.  

Seems clear that the church does define everyone by sexual orientation.  Except when they're gay?  In which case the church defines their ss attraction as a phantasm of disordered emotion.  

Not being gay myself, I can't say how gays should feel about the Courage approach.   No doubt some find it a path to wholeness, while others feel it's a denial of their personhood.   But to claim that a person isn't "defined by their sexual orientation" seems at best a half truth to me.
