    Jeet Heer Retweeted GLAAD

    The use of the term "sexual preference" is an interesting example of how Barrett isn't really in line with teachings of Catholic church. The current church teaching is that sexual identity is part part of who person is, not a choice they make.https://twitter.com/glaad/status/1316018793022255110 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    GLAADVerified account @glaad
    The correct term is sexual orientation. "Sexual preference" is a term often used by anti-LGBTQ activists to imply that sexual orientation is a choice. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1316016303442862080 …

        Political orientation is not a choice? Getting bent out of shape over distinctions without difference is a waste of everyone’s time.

        I wonder if she agrees with Pope Francis' latest statements about the bad effects of capitalism on the catholic mission? As it is on Earth, it is in heaven after all?

        Ask her about Citizens United then juxtapose against the latest Papal encyclical.

        Are we expecting too much consistency from a member of the oxymoronic "Catholic Pentecostal" movement?https://apnews.com/article/politics-south-bend-amy-coney-barrett-us-supreme-court-courts-7350a62e68fb6e70424a3c177c79ab52 …

        This is not true. The church has not changed its position that homosexual is intrinsically disordered and sinful and that people's identity is not determined by their sins.

        "Choice" doesn't follow from "preference." I have an overwhelming preference for cake over brussel sprouts, but choice never came into it. No-one chooses their preferences.

        Super-Catholics don't listen to Pope Francis. They know more about the Church than he does.
