Well, there is nothing illogical or per se wrong with advocating that certain moral precepts of a religion be enshrined in the law. But in this instance, I doubt it is the official position of the Catholic Church that consenual adult sodomy should be a crime. If it is, a lot of priests need to go to jail if caught.

Yes, they should.

Sure, I have no objection to enshrining a moral precept into law regardless of coincidence with those moral precepts embraced by whatever particular religious teaching.

They should not be enshrined into law on the basis that they are a religious teaching, however.
