How many popes ever said homosexual perversion was okay? Please list all who did so.

I think it is just too much to claim Luther led directly to Hitler, but they were both anti-semitic, nationalists, etc. The popes, on the other hand, never said homosexual perversion was okay.

Your analogy fails.

Try again.

I can’t say that Popes haven’t condoned homosexuality. I know they’ve condoned murder, which led to creation of the Anglican church.

How about this: the failure of the Catholic Church as a religion is that they make up the rules as they go along, e.g., the new “sins” of pollution and stem cell research, etc. Whereas, Christianity is rooted in the the Word of God and it is unchanging.

I’m curious to learn what nation Martin Luther was a “nationalist” of, considering Germany wasn’t unified until 1860.
