[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever's engaging with the anti-catholic bigot, could you stop?

She needs to hate, and she's picked the catholic church to hate.  I've been sucked into her nastiness, and you can learn from my mistake.  Don't waste your time on her.[/quote]

I know, but I just don't want misinformation put out there about Church teaching.  Lord knows there is enough of that.

Anti-Catholic friend, you did not cite the complete Church position on homosexuality.  To fully understand it, you would need to read the complete teachings of human sexuality, but here is the most relevant section:

Chastity and homosexuality

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 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. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. [b]They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives[/b] and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.[/quote]
