What would you call a homosexual Catholic who believes in a woman's right to choose? Would you call him a "moderate" Catholic or a sinner and/or a "Bad" Catholic?

All catholics, indeed all christians would be sinners saved by grace.

A practicing homosexual would not be following the precepts of his religion. Nor would a person who supports a supposed right to kill the unborn. Nor would a person who supports the right to kill the born.

As a sinner to take communion, repentance is required. That means he must turn from his sins, recognize his error, and go and sin no more. If he does not do that, he is still in his sin, and has rejected grace.

Allow me to rephrase it for you.

What would you call a homosexual Catholic who believes in a woman's right to choose and who does not follow the tenets of the Catholic faith?

Would you call him a "moderate" Catholic?

A Muslim who does not follow the tenets of his faith is not a "moderate muslim". He is a "bad muslim".

The "moderate muslim" does not exist.
