One more thing, regarding you comments on what the Buddhist representative had to say, there is actually a quite ancient Christian tradition of seeking to desire less and less, a tradition rooted in Scripture. It has manifested itself most notably in various Christian monastic traditions. That there is thus this parallel between one aspect of Buddhism and Christianity shouldn't be surprising. I think that it has to do with monasticism in general. Buddhism is, at its heart, a monastic religion.

If she, in her conscience, could not agree at the time of the discussion with the Church's consistent teaching on the topic, then she should have not spoken in any capacity that could be equated with speaking as its representative. At any rate, here is the address of an authentically Catholic apostolate to those with same sex attractions: <a href="http://couragerc.net/">http://couragerc.net/</a> That’s truly sad how the Catholic representative in that discussion represented herself.
