How shocking – a psychiatrist who is also a member of the Catholic Medical Association says the American Psychiatric Association “has ignored evidence that homosexual behaviour is a manifestation of a psychiatric disorder.” One wouldn’t think he would place current views on homosexuality held by the Catholic church above science. No. Never.

In an interview with the Rome-based Zenit news service, Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons a psychiatrist and member of the Catholic Medical Association, said that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has ignored evidence that homosexual behaviour is a manifestation of a psychiatric disorder. In their recent call for the legalization of homosexual marriage, the APA has revealed a political bias that is of no service to homosexuals, said Fitzgibbons the primary author of the Catholic Medical Association’s document ‘Homosexuality and Hope.’

Fitzgibbons, the co-author of a book on forgiveness published by the APA, said the APA has also chosen to ignore the potential impact on children in those “marriages.” It is being increasingly proven that children have a critical psychological need for a stable family life with a mother and a father, which the homosexual lifestyle cannot provide.
