Abstract
Since the category objective disorder is pivotal to the magisterium's evaluation of homosexual orientation, the author seeks to clarify its meaning within Aquinas's anthropology. The doctrine of a directly created, subsistent soul is an essential element there. On the other hand, evolutionary theory suggests a markedly different understanding of human nature. If evolutionary anthropologies were to find a place in Catholic discourse, the judgment about the objective disorder of homosexuality would need to be reconsidered.
