I agree that Homosexuality was and still is, an abomination. Careful there Msgr. Charles Pope about polygamy. In Jesus day, polygamy was legal under Jewish law. Please do no equate the two.
The article might be making a good point if it could be clearly established but there is more than enough in the word of God to plainly establish homosexuality to be an abomination with out going to anything except the plain words of the Bible.
**Hence, the term porneia (here understood widely as unchastity) surely does include homosexual acts (as any Greek dictionary will affirm). In the Matthean exception or exclusion, Jesus thus sets aside unchaste or illicit unions since they are not true marriages at all. Divorce does not apply to them and such unions should be discontinued since they are unchaste.**
The words of Jesus speak for themselves.
I’m a Protestant and I firmly approve of this monsignor’s message.
