I think it’s very, very important to talk about the fact that any kind of extramarital sex is wrong, and not just focus on homosexual sex. Any kind of misuse of our sexual powers is wrong. Any sexual activity outside of marriage is disordered. So I think if we use this vocabulary, we have to use it about all of human sexuality and not just focus on people with same-sex attraction. So it has to be in that context.

Isn't the Cardinal trying not to offend homosexuals here?

It would appear so. I contend that distorting the Truth and causing confusion is too high a price for that.

Looks to me like he's trying to remind folks that fornication and adultery are wrong.

Any sexual activity outside of marriage is disordered.

Do you agree or disagree with that statement?

No, I think he's trying to say that all sexual sins are offensive.

By far, I think, most socially destructive sins are done by heterosexuals: contraception, sterilization, abortion, divorce/remarriage.

THis ratio may change as society gets sicker and sicker.
