Werner, I’m with you. Obviously, homosexuality is not evil, or a sin, or a “disorder,” (a definition found posted by a priest elsewhere on this website!).

So many of the statements attributed to God in the bible are so contradictory, it’s easy to pull out anything you want to defend any position you want. In Exodus, we are also strictly enjoined to kill our children, if they turn away from the faith!! Welcome to fundamentalist Islam!!

The “moderate” Catholics today are just those who pick and choose what parts of the bible to expound, and what parts to ignore. It’s unfortunately still socially acceptable to bash gays, although in 20-30 years, our children will look back on homosexual discrimination as a crime of ignorance, like we now look back on racial discrimination. It won’t be long, now!

Please read what the Catechism of the Catholic church has to say about homosexuality. Having same-sex desires are not necessarily sinful themselves but they are disordered. Same-sex intimate relations are sinful and deliberately contradict the natural law. In this culture it’s so easy to take a “live and let live” attitude but the truth must be spoken in charity. Faithful Catholics do not bash gays and do not call for a violation against their civil rights. It is not a civil right for same-sex people to marry just as it is not a civil right for siblings to marry. An authentic Christian will love the sinner and hate the sin. People who follow the Church’s teaching on homosexuality are not homophobes or prejudice - they are speaking the truth in love. I will pray for you.
 

Abominations? Leviticus states that eating shellfish is an abomination. Why are we not advocating laws in the US banning the eating of shrimp? Are there different levels of abominations?​

Paul in the NT mentioned how homosexual relationships are wrong. Jesus mentioned it too. A man and WOMAN becoming ONE.

Are you arguing with me, or just reinforcing what I said? The Catholics believe homosexuality is a disorder - much as back in biblical times, it was thought that epileptics were possessed by the devil!

And I meant that the social acceptance of prejudice against homosexuality will soon be coming to an end, as reason prevails over fear and misunderstanding.

You cannot compare homosexuality with being an epileptic. People do not choose to be an epileptic. They do choose to be a homosexual. If you say it will be accepted as normal in the coming years, I’m glad I won’t be around then. We have a few at work, and I treat them like anybody else, but I DO NOT have to approve of their lifestyle.

I’m not so sure that all homosexuals chose to be that way. I think that some are truly born with that dispostion. Does that change the fact that homosexual sex is sinful? No. Just like I was born with a really hot temper… had it from birth (so I’m told). Does that give me the right to say, “Well that’s the way I was born… deal with it?” No. I have to exerecise self control because giving in to my temper is sinful. I believe that controling my temper is probably cake compared to a homosexual controlling their temptation - but God never gives more than we can handle and with His help it can be done. I am so thankful that homosexuality is NOT something I struggle with - I feel very sorry for those who do.

Theology of the Body discussions, including homosexuality and ProLife matters, belong in the Moral Theology thread.

Review the stickys at the top of this forum.

In addition, this discussion is wandering so it is now closed.

God Bless
