Sažetak
Starting with an analysis of the concepts "homosexuality" and "homosexual person", the author points out three questions present in modem theological discourse: Is there any "natural" homosexuality, i.e. is human sexuality indeterminate and ambvalent as to male and female? Which are the biological conditions for this ("biological theory")? What psychological influences may induce homosexuality ("psychological theory")? There is a difference between homosexual orientation and homosexual behaviour. Nowadays, in cultural surroundings cormpted by pornography, the problem of homosexuality is a crucial one because of the disease, AIDS. This is a challenge to the faithful. The entity of the human person cannot be reduced to mere sexuality. Homosexual orientation and actions are, objectively, irregular. Each man and each woman are responsible for the correct development of their sexuality. "No one has chosen homosexuality, but it is possible to choose the way how to live it." Emphasizing moral and biblical criteria in considering the phenomenon, the author bases his thoughts on Church documents, particulary "Letter to the bishops of the Catholic Church on the pastoral care for Homosexual Persons" (1986) and "Called to Compassion", letter of American bishops
