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.

Plain and simple, homosexuality is defined by a sex act. That sex act is unnatural and forbidden. Where's the Pope in this? He's quick to condemn the war in Iraq and support protestors. What say he?

Remember Saint John Chrysostom, the golden-throated Doctor of the Church of the early fifth century said "The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops."


I imagine the floor is a bit cluttered right about now.

The problem is leftist are bend on creating God in their image.

These clergy are often educated in leftist universities and are indoctrinated to a leftist view. If you think marriage would change their view, it will not. The Orthodox religions allow for marriage and they have their fair share of leftist priests. The only thing that ha saved them so far is the leadership is stuctured to prefer traditionalists.

This is religion not a beauty pagent.
