This news piece comes to us from Catholic Culture:
The staff of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage is publishing a seven-part series of blog posts in the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage.
In the most recent installment, the staff criticized “the flawed anthropology of sexual orientation”:
The problem with treating “sexual orientation” as a description of a class of people is that it proposes a deeply flawed anthropology, or understanding of the human person. Christian anthropology teaches that each person is called to accept his or her sexual identity as a man or as a woman (Catechism, no. 2333). This is consistent with the understanding that man – male and female – is a unity of body and soul (Catechism, no. 362-368). Our identity as human persons is intimately connected with our identity as a man or as a woman. In short, the body matters.
What the language of “sexual orientation” does, anthropologically, is separate one’s identity from one’s bodily nature as a man or woman, placing a premium on one’s desires and inclinations. The body then becomes a “bottom layer” – essentially meaningless matter – over which one’s “real” identity – comprised of desires and inclinations – is super-imposed.

Letters to Christopher 
Marriage is legal union b/w man ad woman, so therefore say no 2 same sex.
very enlightening. good to be reminded ever so often. thank you.
Fundamental to the Orthodox Christian faith, where ‘Faith’ is the foundation for life’s principles. Not be be confused with ‘belief’, defined as having cultural and historical context and is more easily changed, and lack a more intellectual understanding. Thanks for posting….
