Good LHM, homosexuality is *not* a "moral" issue, its a psychological issue between the homosexual person, the person they are attracted to, and God.

This is not true. Homosexuality is indeed a "moral" issue - no less than heterosexuality and gluttony and any kind of passionate excess. True, one should not judge the sinner - even in "moral issues" however it is certainly necessary to reject the sin. "Psychology" is a secular discipline that at best only treats the symptoms of our spiritual illness. In the Church, "psychology" is simply one tool among many (and not necessarily the best tool).

Morality is a spiritual issue and psychology is a secular discipline.
