There are those Christians who reject the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, who have turned to Scripture and found NO prohibition against homosexuality. In essence, they believe that they can have their sin and their salvation, too. What would you say to them?

I'd say they could find people who arrive at the same views within the catholic church. You're just foisting off a straw man argument...not very honest of you.

On the contrary, while there are those within the Catholic Church who arrive at the same views, they Can be held to authority to authoritatively be excommunicated. Those who let 'No Authority Stand Between Them And Scripture' can in effect be their own Popes, following only their own authority. How can you say that THEIR Scriptural interpretation is wrong? Or for that matter, how can you say Authoritatively that the Catholic version is wrong? After all, it comes down to one Christian's interpretation over another.
