Sodomy under what circumstances? Or does it matter?
Pope Francis said there may be different circumstances in which the Church might have to evaluate same-sex unions, but the only concrete example he gave was in the case of where a state was providing health care benefits conditioned on the two persons of the same sex being involved in a union or marriage. An evaluation by the Church would be to no longer consider it as being sinful.
Of course the pope didnt say those words exactly, he just implied them. This gives him and the Modernists room to wiggle around if someone tries to pin them down. It also gives his apologists something to hang their hat on when they are placed in the regular position of having to defend something he really didnt say.
The problem that is going on is this. Neither this pope nor any bishop has the spiritual courage to stand up strong and say that practicing homosexuality (or many other sins of the flesh) are mortal sins. Its really as simple as that. If they did, all of these issues would be put to rest. Instead, they say nothing about the sinfulness, so they can never be quoted as saying that a particular act or behavior was not sinfull. Consequently, Catholics (and others) walk away trying to figure it our for themselves as to whether something is a sin or not. Understandably, more often than not they conclude it is not sinful.
The evidence of this can be found in the most recent Gallup poll (yesterday, I believe) on homosexual marriages. The finding was that over 50% (I believe the number was 52%) of Catholics support homosexual marriages! Now think about that. This Catholics will be teaching their children and grandchildren that God has no problem with sodomy. This does not have a good ending.
