Which is precisely the truth. The reproductive function is integral to the sexual act. Any sexual act that subverts the reproductive aspect of intercourse is by defiition disordered and immoral.
There are many sexual activities engaged in by men and women that aren't directed toward impregnantion. Sex between two men or sex between two women is simply one of those non-reproductive sexual activities.
Trying to separate reproduction from sexual relations is like trying to separate nutrition from the act of eating: a perversion of the natural order.
A lot of the prejudice against gays originated in Biblical times, when it was imperative to be fruitful and multiply in order to ensure the survival of the tribe, or the species. Any activity that didn't lead to reproduction was bad, because it didn't contribute to the survival of the group.
Uh, sure, Perfesser. Thanks for that utterly unupported personal opinion.
These days, when we have too many people crowding the earth...
Another unsupported assertion. Who says we have too many people crowding the earth?
...those old taboos against non-reproductive sex have fallen, one after another. The Catholic Church is one of the last holdouts for the "be fruitful and multiply" point of view in the modern world.
The Catholic Church supports human life in all its forms. We are 100% in favor of human beings, and we always will be, no matter what a "majority of reputable psychologists" say.
The Church still officially forbids any kind of birth control, including contraceptives, doesn't it?
Since the reproductive function is integral to the sexual act, and since any sexual act that subverts the reproductive aspect of intercourse is disordered and immoral, then, yes, the Church forbids artificial contraception.
"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,[Cf. Gen 191-29; Rom 124-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10 .] tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.' [CDF, Persona humana 8.] They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved."
Exactly! Thats why what happens between a man and woman has no relation to the practice of homosexuality. Obviously the only thing those who pretend an anus is a vagina can produce are dirt babies.
