“The Catholic church is very clear on sins. The Catholic Catechism provides the teachings of the Church”
I guarantee you that the words “intrinsically disordered” referring to homosexual acts will be taken out of the CCC. Then I take myself out of these current regime of Francis. I became a Catholic because the Church stood for truth and called a sin a sin, and it didn’t conform to the world like so many protestant faiths. If that changes I’m gone. I’ll become a member of the Society of St. Pius.
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity [Cf. Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10], tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”[Cf.

I understand your concerns and agree with your thoughts.
However, I do not believe that the Catholic church will change its principle beliefs.
If Church leaders change this to gain acceptance of the current culture, then we have a serious problem of leadership, of men that are not led by the Truth of God.
As we currently face the lack of good moral leadership in the US, we may have to endure an inappropriate leadership in the Church. I believe that the Blessed Mother Mary as been very vocal in her concerns for the Church. The Church faithful will have to be strong and stand with God. It is not easy to be Catholic, but following the will of the Father will make us stronger.
We need to be strong and stand together with love of God and our neighbors. I can only control myself, yet hopefully influence and inspire others to do the right things and stand with us as we show our Love of God.
JESUS will judge the living and the dead. It is my job to to love God and help others love God.
