God loves people who are more tempted to steal. He doesn’t approve of them stealing, however.
Exactly. It depends upon what he means by “accompany”. I hate those modernistic buzzwords where it’s hard to pin down a definition.
If he means to excuse the sin and let the sinner just go on his way to hell, well that’s dead wrong. As in death of the soul.
Sodomy done with deliberation and awareness is a mortal sin, and needs to be confessed with a resolution to leave that sin behind. There are also therapies and spiritual direction that can be an enormous help in curing these unfortunate people of their obsessions.
The Church is not in the business of holding unrepentant sinners’ hands as they go to eternal damnation. Quite the opposite.
