Perhaps Kerry has not studied his Catechism lately!

What the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about homosexuality

Catechism of the Catholic Church

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, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

"homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."

Thank you for posting this excerpt from Catholic teaching. Many fail to comprehend or acknowledge the TRUTH even when it is apparent, especially the DemocRAT running for president.
