What does that say about the prot that did not provide the documentation AND missed the “/UBERSARC!” at the end of my comment?
What “documentation” are you demanding?
Go up thread, there is a whopping 40 posts to look through, or you could just click on the “to#” under each post.
-— but when they quit their acts of sodomy, and the underlying sick lust, it’s no longer a “sodomite relationship”. They can, withj the help of God’s grace, develop a spiritual friendship which conduces to their mutual sanctification.
In other words, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Boy can I call it or what? I just knew you were one of those people. Thank you for proving me correct again.
Who are “those people”?
Roman Catholics, perhaps, who don’t buy Francis’ B.S., like you do?
If that helps you get through the dark scary night.
You seem to view married couples who contracept and sodomite couples as existing on an equal plane. Sodomite relationships are unnatural not only on the physical plane but also on the spiritual and emotional planes. Eschewing the physical act does not negate the other issues.
It wasn't until the mid-19th century that the word and concept of "homosexual" was even invented, in the taxonomy of pathologies then favored by the psychiatrists. Before then, the only relevant categories were "lust" and "sodomy", neither of which required a particular "class" of people to engage in them.
Sodomy and contracepted intercourse are both unnatural acts, both perverted (turned away from the true nature and purposes of sex as created by God), and both mortal sins. They are morally congruent but not, of course, identical.
Every mortal sin is, in some ways, like every other mortal sin; like some other mortal sins; and like no other mortal sin.
Married couples who contracept are guilty of the additional sin of sacrilege against the Sacrament of Matrimony.
If they were morally congruent, both would be characterized as "sins that cry to heaven for vengeance".*

*What are sins that cry to heaven for vengeance and sins against the Holy Spirit?
Full Question
What are sins that cry to heaven for vengeance and sins against the Holy Spirit?
Answer
Most Catholics are familiar with the term mortal sin. Mortal sins deprive the soul of grace. They are serious transgressions of God's law, done freely and deliberately with a clear understanding of what they are. Their result is to deny a soul entrance to heaven.
There are particular mortal sins that are so evil that they are said to be sins that cry to heaven for vengeance: murder (Gn 4:10), sodomy (Gn 17:20-21), oppression of the poor (Ex 2:23), and defrauding workers of their just wages (Jas 5:4).
Sins against the Holy Spirit are mortal sins that harden a soul by its rejection of the Holy Spirit. Six sins are in this category. They are despair, presumption, envy, obstinacy in sin, final impenitence, and deliberate resistance to the known truth.
