———I’ve never listened to EWTN but if homosexuals find “comfort” in their broadcasts and “uncomfortable” with others that should tell us something, shouldn’t it?-——END

I missed that in the article. Where did EWTN give comfort to homosexuals?

———For the Catholic Church to relegate it to nothing more than impulse to be surpress, the Catholic Church does not encourage people to seek God’s help in solving this issue or do they call it for what it is-sin. They are false teachers leading people not to see God’s perfection but encouraging them to excuse their own sin-——END

The Catholic Church is, well, catholic. Catholic just means universal, the same always and everywhere. The Catholic Church never taught that homosexuality is “nothing more than impulse to be surpress”. If you see anyone teaching this novelty, they are not Catholic in line with what the church has always taught. They are no different than the persoanl opinions of liberal Protestants. If you can find any Catholic authority, say 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, years ago, teaching that error, then you’d have a valid pointt, since it has always been, the teaching is universal (catholic).

Homosexuality has always been classified by the Catholic Church as one of the four sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance. Moreover, even lusting, is considered by the Catholic Church to be a mortal (sould killing deadly) sin, equivalent to having done the act itself!

Perhaps you miss it in the response in #14 for which I was originally referring to. Bronxville happened to state:

EWTN does show the utmost respect to all of our fellow Christians.

The article is about a homosexual returning to the Catholic Church because this author find (among other things) comfort in EWTN. I think it is safe to say that if a homosexual finds comfort from EWTN, then EWTN gives comfort to homosexuals. This seems to be simple logic.

Yes, this is a typical Catholic answer that many of us Protestants have come to expect. "The Catholic Church never taught.... [fill in the blank]". From Wikipedia:

In Roman Catholicism, homosexual acts are considered contrary to natural law and sinful, while homosexual desires are considered "disordered" but not themselves sinful.

Desires are nothing more then lust. As our Lord Jesus tells us that even if you look at another woman with lust in your heart you have sinned. That can be applied to any vice. The Church teaching is contrary to God's word.

I would say that you are in disagreement with Church teaching but are accurate in your interpretation of scripture.
