A desire to engage in sodomy (with a same-sex or opposite-sex partner) is a temptation to sin, which should be resisted.
Actually doing the deed is the sin, which must be repented before a person can receive absolution and Communion.
Got it. Thanks.

You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery.[a] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
So which is it? Is it “doing the deed” or if a homosexual looks at a boy lustfully is it a sin?
