This is a way they justify the encounter.
Eros love is still a form of love. Combining it with the other forms, and having no prohibition of gay sex by the clergy or hierarchy of the Catholic church in its Traditions, makes it justifiable and good.
It’s not terribly unlike Muslims who claim sex with boys or animals is holy and permissible, as they are not seemingly attracted to them over women, so those outlets are also “holy.” Of course, some are attracted to boys or animals, and these people have all the ability to say they stay “holy” in their perversions.
If you doubt the Traditions side of it with the Catholic church hierarchy, I will also maintain there are no prohibitions on owning an Apple iPhone in any Catholic Tradition.
It’s interesting what can be justified by mincing words to one’s advantage (not that an iPhone is in such need of justification).
Not sure I totally agree. The Holy Spirit convicts when we step into sin. We can in our minds justify it, but in our heart of hearts...we know.
This is pure evil. What better way would satan attack the body of Christ than from within. What better way to steal souls from God than to turn them against Him by this sort of evil.
It’s spiritual warfare.

Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, ‘I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so’. Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:
'While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigours which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply just died in the sphere of concrete achievement.’
