The world would be a better place if homosexual acts were illegal and not tolerated.

Does the Catholic church excommunicate anyone for anything at this point?

I want to say to my Christian brothers and sisters. God says that homosexuality is an abomination. I don’t accept venal sin concept but if you do— there is one. I accept universal salvation under John 3:16 but I am baffled how a queer can accept Christ.

Given the pretender dope, probably for being a devout Catholic who doesn’t support Marxism and Sodomy.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

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, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." 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.

A rainbow is like a pink triangle, which is like the n-word?!

Does anyone actually sit thru the entire lecture (can’t call it a homily)?

morals?
Nah, can’t have any of those.
Would maybe lose homosexuals donations if the church take a stand for morality.
Money money money, MONEY.
