What's "the culture of death"?

So if homosexuality is the work of the devil then a child being born with a disability must be the work of the devil also? Considering they’re both effectively disabilities (being homosexual disables someone from being able to perform properly in a straight relationship).

There are three principle causes of things.

1. Heavenly causes;
2. Demonic causes;
3. Worldly causes.

The cause of a child’s congenital disability is not demonic. It is of the world.

The causes of a person’s inability to “perform properly in a straight relationship” are multiple. Marriage is a vocation. Which means God calls people to marriage. Or he calls them to vocations other than marriage.

Many folks who are not homosexual are not called to marriage.

In that case then should we be following in the footsteps of those who used to kill their children for having something wrong with them instead of caring for them?

This is illogical and betrays a lack of knowledge of the Church’s teaching on the Gospel of Life. I have given three links above to the Church’s teaching on the Gospel of Life. I recommend that you read them all.

The Gospel of Life does not exclude suffering. “Having something wrong with them” does not excuse folks from respecting Life – their own lives and the lives of others – from conception to natural death. For more on this, please read Salvifici Doloris.
