People can allow anything to define their existence. For some it becomes one of their talents, their family lineage, or some aspect of their physical appearance. For some it is their wealth or social position, or a particular person to whom they have become attached. It can also be how they are sexually attracted. Catholic Faith believes that God, and God’s call to love defines our existence and informs us of who we are and what we are worth. It does not believe that homosexual attraction should come to define a person’s existence, shape their character or determine their choices about how to engage the world.
