College Course Lumps Homosexuality, Rape, Murder

Correct. But that is not the only reason that sexual activity between two of the same sex is morally forbidden.

Heterosexuals using contraceptives are violating the inherently procreative (i.e., uninterrupted, unmanipulated) aspect of heterosexual activity. They are not “committing sodomy.” You are very confused.

No, I did not “mean procreative.” Unitive in a Catholic, not a secular, context, has a specific meaning when used within the category of moral theology. That meaning relates to a heterosexual relationship and nothing else. There is an additional meaning of unitive as it applies to spirituality – specifically, mysticism. Unitive does not apply in any broad sense to relationships of all kinds. (In a Catholic context. We are talking about Catholicism here, not Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary.)

And more than half of practicing Catholics, as well as more than half of the current CAF posting population, do not understand even the essentials of Catholic moral theology – never mind “fully.”

“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.”

Well, sodomy is sterile sexual acts, and contraception is intentionally trying to make it sterile so it could be theologically debated although it probably isn’t sodomy per se.

“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.” When it says sexual complementarity it means sexual complementarity not unitive. What I referenced regarding unitive was the Summa Theologica by Saint Thomas Aquinas who is considered one of the greatest theologians ever and is a Doctor of the Church…

Maybe 20% of the Catholic population understand the essentially as to fully we are talking a very very small amount.

Kudos to the Franciscan University for calling a spade a spade. I hope they will not back down in the face of bullies.

A spade a spade of spade? So being gay is like murder? Funny wasn’t the believers who use to murder gay people with stones? Gays are the bullies when it’s you guys forcing your baseless views on them. The bible sanctioned slavery, Moses burnt 30 virgins alive for god so why do you think it is right on homosexuality:blush:?

Saint Tommy also said we should kill heretics to save their soul. sounds like religious supremacy to me.

I pray that they did not back down on this.

Yes, kudos to Franciscan University.

Ben: welcome to the forums . When posting to a thread it’s always a good idea to look at the date it was started. This threads over three years old , many of those are participated in it are no longer members and the news story it quotes is dated ,to say the least. I suspect the moderators will lock it down in the near future

The university, in contrast, says the term “deviant” means “different from the norm,” which suggests a value-neutral approach.

On that definition, left handers, people with blue eyes and American citizens are ‘deviant’, since all are much less than 50% of the overall human populaiton. I would suggest that a better definition is needed.

Deviant as in deviates from the norm. It’s the commonly used definition in Sociology.

The human norm is for brown eyes, not blue. The human norm is to be right handed, not left handed. I suspect that there is somewhat more detail to the academic definition than has been shown here.
