"This is done he said by telling them that homosexual acts are sinful, he said."

- That was weak. There are a thousand real health reasons why homosexuality is wrong.

Weak? He's addressing spiritual implications. Calling something sin I don't see as "weak". It's a lot stronger than most dare say.

The Priest is teaching and preaching morality not health awareness.

No, it was not a weak statement. It is the truth. In addition to it being a sin, it is also a very unhealthful practice. It can and does kill. The bishop was speaking in theological and spiritual terms, not physical health. No one should mistake his meaning.

And if he was speaking as a medical doctor those would be his talking points.

He's a priest not a doctor.

That may be a distinction without difference. Ben Franklin said it best: "Sin is not harmful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful."

If there were cures for every conceivable STD tomorrow would that change God's truth ? Isn't God's truth a "real" reason ?
