What the Catholic Church teaches about homosexuality

This is further to today's earlier post about the Gay Mafia blocking attempts to address the issue of homosexuality in the clergy. Here is the theory -- emphasis intentional -- of what Catholics are supposed to believe about homosexuality. This is taken from "Satan's Ultimate Revolt Against God: Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality", by Father Michael Rodriguez, of the Diocese of El Paso TX, in the Fatima Crusader, Spring 2019.

The truth taught by Jesus Christ and His Church: (Catholic Teaching on Homosexuality)

1. All sexual acts, outside of natural marital relations open to life, are instrinsically evil and always objective mortal sins.

2. All unnatural sexual acts are intrinsically evil and always objective mortal sins.

3. All sexual acts between persons of the same gender are intrinsically evil and always objective mortal sins. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

The constant teaching of the Catholic Church, based on Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, is that "homosexual acts are [always] acts of grave depravity and intrinsically disordered" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2357).

Leviticus 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination."

The four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance are mortal sins which are especially heinous: willful murder (Genesis 4:10), the sin of Sodom (Genesis 18:20-21), oppression of the poor (Exodus 2:23), and defrauding labourers of their wages (James 5:4).

4. The homosexual "orientation" itself is intrinsically evil; it is objectively disordered (see CCC 2358), but it is not itself a sin, because sins are acts involving the intellect (knowing) and the will (choosing).

5. Since the homosexual "orientation" is intrinsically evil, any and all acts, whether sexual or not, by which a person knowingly chooses to move toward, cooperate with, reinforce, or act upon a homosexual "orientation" is itself a sin, either venial or mortal.

6. Since the homosexual "orientation" is intrinsically evil -- a moral disorder -- it is contgrary to the will and plan of God. Thus, persons with a homosexual "orientation" have a moral obligation to attempt to change, and so conform themselves to God's holy will, "male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)

7. With the help of God's grace all things are possible; this certainly includes conversion from a disordered homosexual "orientation".

8. All persons are creatures of God. No person is intrinsically evil, even if he or she has an intrinsically evil sexual "orientation".

9. All human persons deserve just and charitable treatment; this obviously includes those with a homosexual "orientation".

10. The promotion and spread of homosexuality is an abomination before God; this work of the devil causes the gravfest harm to marriages, families, the Church, and society in general.

11. The adoption of children, or the bearing of children through immoral means, by two persons of the same gender, is contrary to the will and plan of God.

12. Sinful behaviour, e.g. homosexual activity, should never be encouraged by any person or group, nor by society in general. Society has the right and the duty to enact laws wh ich discourage and punish sinful acts that cause serious harm to society.

When it comes to the Gay Mafia in the hierarchy of the Church, and those who tolerate its existence and influence (Hello, Jorge Bergoglio!), seems to me there's a cognitive dissonance -- something outta whack there. I would say "Practise what you preach!", except that almost no-one (except maybe Father Rodriguez) preaches about this any more. But God will not be mocked. A reckoning is coming....
