The saints had some strong words to say as well:
“No sin in the world grips the soul as the accursed sodomy; this sin has always been detested by all those who live according to God...Deviant passion is close to madness; this vice disturbs the intellect, destroys elevation and generosity of soul, brings the mind down from great thoughts to the lowliest...They become blind and, when their thoughts should soar to high and great things, they are broken down and reduced to vile and useless and putrid things, which could never make them happy...Just as people participate in the glory of God in different degrees, so also in hell some suffer more than others...for this is the greatest sin.” -St. Bernardine of Siena (1380-1444)

Persons the Roman Catholic Church has canonized. But that’s a feedback and echo chamber often well insulated from Christ.
That is a good quote. I’ve never read it before.
