Other than our perverted media and hollyweird— full of queers and pedophiles, which compete with our churches for the learning and upbrining of our youth- where would a 16 year old get the idea they are “queer”? This is a campaign, not a theological discussion.
The sin is Biblical. Any church telling them it is OK has already lost the battle and really, the war. Including the Catholic Church and major Protestant.
"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."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. 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 and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
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."
There are many self-described Catholics who fail to live, or even to teach, this doctrine. But it's not that the Catholic Church, herself, has capitulated to the lie.
But many Catholics have. That's sin for ya. The devil delights in pulling people down into their own weakness, and far too many people willingly cooperate with evil. Even in the Church, of course: the dragnet pulls in all kinds of fish, including real monsters of the deep. But that's the nature of the Church on earth.
Matthew 13:47-48
"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away."
Oh, and by the way, it's the Catholic (and Orthodox) Church, virtually alone, which has taught that celibate chastity is entirely livable and has its own gifts and richness. Who else talks about that?
