. . . . This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. . . .

So whether you use the phrase, "instrinsically disordered," which appears in your first quoted paragraph, or the phrase "objectively disordered, which appears in the second, your quote serves to underscore my point.

Oh, and as to the line from the catechism that homosexuality "constitutes for most [homosexuals] a trial," excuse me, but to the extent homosexuality is a "trial" for gay people, it is precisely BECAUSE of the anti-gay bigotry that has been fed, for centuries, by the Church's teaching!
