You're stirring the pot with a complete red herring. Many forms of sociopathy and psychopathy seem to be rooted in different brain structures, yet this provides no reason for thinking that allowing sociopaths to engage in violent behavior is a social good. Bone up on your Catholic moral theology.

Clearly, I spoke specifically of the perception of the imbalance between judgements good and bad not of the basis for the judgements thenselves, is that not clear?
On what basis is my question about whether an inherent and immutable inclination to homosexual gratification with infants of African descent is any more or less of a red herring than the purported contention that the inherent and immutable inclination to homosexual gratification with persons other than infants of African descent is not any less valid than the inherent and immutable inclination to heterosexual gratification congruent with the biological imperative of the species?
Inherent and immutable heterosexuality is within the huge range of the specie's "Normal", correct?
Inherent and immutable homosexuality is within the huge range of the species "Normal", correct?
Inherent and immutable homosexual pedophilia is within the huge range of the specie's "Normal", not correct?
I don't think that I have made an argument that allowing a particular behavior is good or bad, have I done so in your mind? In fact it seems that there exists a distiction between inclination and behavior is beyond the cognative grasp of a particular faction of responders, no?
What do you imagine my questioning has anything to do with "Catholic moral theology"? Seems to be more of a personal touchstone for you, having referenced it twice when no one else has.
