catholic catechism

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church actions and behaviors are labeled as "gravely disordered" or "intrinsically disordered" are those euphemisms for "a sin" ?

The actions are contrary to their purpose ( such as masturbation and homoerotic acts) and so are disordered.

The actions are objectively sinful but need full consent of will and sufficient knowledge to be mortally sinful and only God can judge anothewr as to his state of grace and ultimate outcome.

I have a project for school due pretty soon and i would love help as soon as possible. I need to figure out the christian alternative to competition is and what they say about competition, but the major part is to use what they say about competetion in relation to what the catechism says. I'm not sure about the catechism and would love some exact lines, and passages that relate to their beliefs about competition and their overall take on the idea.
Thanks so much this can really help.

Competition is not contrary to Christian values as long as you remember to love your neighbor as yourself.

I think this means that if you win, you do not rub your opponent's nose in it. This would also preclude trash talking. If you defeat someone, you should praise them for their effort and encourage them to try harder next time. If you happen to lose, you should congratulate the winner and praise him on his effort. Do not hold grudges or make excuses.

For example Limbo went belly up recently, presumably other changes have also been introduced over the years.

Homosexuals are no longer an abomination but are "objectively disordered", which presumably is now politically correct, catholic-speak for "an abomination".

Have you got other examples?

Slavery is out.

The Bible does not condemn slavery. Colossians 3:22 even states, "Slaves, obey your human masters in everything."

This was much debated before and during the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), four hundred years after the Catholic Church became one of the first groups to condemn slavery.

The condemnation of slavery is one of those nonbiblical doctrines that Catholics have developed through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over the centuries.

+ In 1462, Pius II declared slavery to be "a great crime" (magnum scelus). Note that this was 30 years before Columbus "discovered" America.

+ In 1537, Paul III forbade the enslavement of the Indians

+ Urban VIII forbade it in 1639

+ Benedict XIV forbade it in 1741

+ Pius VII demanded of the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, the suppression of the slave trade

+ Gregory XVI condemned it in 1839

+ In the Bull of Canonization of the Jesuit Peter Claver, one of the most illustrious adversaries of slavery, Pius IX branded the "supreme villainy" (summum nefas) of the slave traders.

+ Leo XIII, in 1888, addressed a letter to the Brazilian bishops, exhorting them to banish from their country the remnants of slavery -- a letter to which the bishops responded with their most energetic efforts, and some generous slave-owners by freeing their slaves in a body, as in the first ages of the Church.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion
is to look out to the earth,
yours are the feet by which He is to go about doing good
and yours are the hands by which He is to bless us now.
~St. Teresa of Avila


I am having great difficulties finding scripture passages, also, I don't really know the bible all that well...

"In so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers, you did it to me" (Mt 25:40).

"Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" (Acts 9:4-5) --because the use of 'me' when Saul was having Christians imprisoned

I am working on a research paper for AP US History on a book that has made a change, or has impacted America. I chose the book Catechism of the Catholic Church in hopes of enlightening my homosexual history teacher with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Only problem is that im having trouble finding a significant change it has made on AMERICA. Any suggestions

It hasn't even had a significant effect on Catholic America. Only now are textbooks being published with corrections and the right amount of emphasis on things.

Change your topic to the change from a Church of immigrants to a Church of middle class (and possibly the impact of Vatican II on the American Church).

Don't prostelyze with your term paper. It makes it an inferior term paper.

The use of public schools to educate Catholic children on how to be American led to the establishment of private Catholic schools. This is related to the establishment clause in the Constitution.
