Archbishop Palmer Buckle says the church has always considered gay act as "intrinsically and morally disordered"

“Male and female, God created them… Then God blessed them and said - Be fruitful, increase and multiply and fill the whole earth. So sex and sexuality belong to the original aim of God when he created them male and female.
“So man was meant to enter into a heterosexual relationship, either as a man to a woman or a woman to a man.”
His comments come on the back of the debate on homosexuality and the recent endorsement of the act by the American Supreme Court which has made it acceptable in that country.
In Africa, the act is seriously frowned upon and many have condemned it stating that it is not the way of life of the African. Whereas only three countries on the African continent have legalized the act, many have spoken quite openly against it.
Archbishop Palmer Buckle further indicated that “so anything that does not favour procreation of the human species is disordered and does not order or augur well… so the church has always been against homosexuality. That a person may have a tendency, may have an inclination, this is a scientific issue that needs to be found out or needs to be consolidated and approved…

Sorry—But by all appearances, it has.
Now that you mention it, has the American hierarchy condemned the supreme court’s decision? or is it cowering in fear, hoping that it won’t lose its tax-exempt status?
While we're at it, here's my own not-updated and not- complete, but still pretty robust link list of the Pope speaking out in favor of traditional marriage morality and against gay marriage and radical "gender theory" over the past 6 months or so.
What, you haven't seen these in the mainstream media, either?
Ever wonder why?

Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana, suggests that next October’s Synod might consider how “the power of the keys” (Mt. 16:19) could be employed to “unbind” those who have divorced and civilly remarried without a decree of annulment. He characterizes his thinking on this subject as “daring,” while pointing to numerous examples of Jesus extending mercy to society’s outcasts. He also wonders whether the sons and daughters of the Church don’t bear some responsibility for the stridency of the gay lobby through their dehumanizing attitudes...”
