welcome to the Catholic Church !!Err why quote the Talmud? Jesus said that the tradition of the Pharisees nullifies God’s laws.
If the Church has always understood it as homosexual sex,why are we redifining the sin?
Thank you. So gladwelcome to the Catholic Church !!
It is important to add that this inclination is objectively disordered.I think it is important to again clarify that the Church understands the homosexuality is not sinful, but homosexual acts are sinful.
The problem of the Pharisees was self-righteous hypocrisyErr why quote the Talmud? Jesus said that the tradition of the Pharisees nullifies God’s laws.

Full Question
I don’t think Lot offering his virgin daughters to be raped (Gen. 19) was anything to be celebrated, despite his motivation to protect his visitors, do you?
Answer
No. Lot offered his daughters to the Sodomites in order to protect his guests. In doing so, he was choosing to commit one evil in order to avoid another; the Church clearly teaches that this is wrong: “One may never do evil so that good may result from it” (CCC 1789).
The Catholic Encyclopedia article on Lot explains: "Lot interceded in behalf of his guests in accordance with his duties as host, which are most sacred in the East, but made the mistake of placing them above his duties as a father by offering his two daughters to the wicked designs of the Sodomites." A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture agrees: “Lot cannot be praised. He chose what he considered the less of two evils” (195).
Answered by: Jim Blackburn
Lot was offering his daughters as a supreme act of sacrifice. Of course, since those who would have raped the two “guests” (in reality, angels) weren’t interested in normal sexual relations, perhaps Lot knew that his daughters were really pretty safe?Maybe I’m wrong on this, but Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the very few passages in the Bible I have a lot of trouble accepting – I understand the debates over just what the “sin of Sodom” is, but the part that I cannot accept is that in a culture that highly prized virginity (to say nothing of the moral qualms) that Lot would say “don’t sexually assualt these men – here are my two daughters. Sexually assault THEM.” And nobody looked at him and said “What? No, really – WHAT? What the heck, “hero”?”
This is true, but it is important to recognize that this is not sinful, although it is not optimal.It is important to add that this inclination is objectively disordered.
Aw! Now I understand what you were writing. It makes so much sense. We are so use to this being shoved down our throats it is hard to realize that other times would not have the mind set or as you stated concept of this sin as being “idenity”.The idea of categorizing people in these ways never occurred to people before quite recently. Sexual activity between two people of the same sex (two males, two females) is not new, but the idea of “a homosexual identity” or “a homosexual person” originated about a hundred years ago.
Like building strawmen do you?So you aren’t Sola Scriptura believing, but you are a Bible Alone person?
Except I am not confusing attraction with sin.it is hard to realize that other times would not have the mind set or as you stated concept of this sin as being “idenity”.
It is not an either/or proposition. Pharisees did both.The problem of the Pharisees was self-righteous hypocrisy
Well, those living there knew otherwise. Lot knew what the Sodomite relationships were…and scripture is very specific about their sin.I’ve never thought Sodom-Gomorrah was about loving same-sex relationships.
Show me the sripture that is very specific what their sin was. The footnote from the NAB shows three scriptures with three different reasons.Well, those living there knew otherwise. Lot knew what the Sodomite relationships were…and scripture is very specific about their sin.

Who is?Except I am not confusing attraction with sin.
Your statement did, though you may not have intended it to: “this sin as being ‘idenity’.”Who is?
Why are you** minimizing** the 3 other things that you, yourself quoted in the commentary which are not homosexuality?Really?
From the footnotes of NAB
It is important to recognize that those who promote the sin of homosexuals do so by misrepresenting scripture and minimizing what it says.
And you just quoted it again and still ignored 2 of the things the commentary lists?The sin is not mentioned. The Talmud is only an opinion that has no authority. It was written sometime between the 3rd and 5th century. Of course all you have to do is provide the scripture that says it was inhospitality.
In other words, this is just another interpretation.
There is Scripture that address this which seems to have been ignored.
Again from footnotes
That they wanted to commit homosexual acts on the angels is undeniable hence we have the word sodomy. Jeremiah saw it as general immorality of which homosexuality was part of it.
