This would also imply that simply experiencing a homosexual attraction is a deadly sin. I don’t know of any Christian tradition that teaches this.

This would also imply that simply experiencing a homosexual attraction is a deadly sin.

Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Gen 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

Were the men "homosexually attracted"? Yes. Was it a "deadly sin"? Yes.

I don’t know of any Christian tradition that teaches this.

I'd suggest reading the Bible instead of Vatican Position Papers.
