Homosexuality is a sin and choice according to the Vatican

[chilli.domains]

Yep Pope Francis the big guy at the Vatican said no blessing of same sex unions and that homosexuality was a sin and choice.



"Rome (CNN)The Vatican said Monday that the Catholic Church would not bless same-sex unions, in a combative statement approved by Pope Francis that threatens to widen the chasm between the church and much of the LGBTQ community.
Explaining their decision in a lengthy note on Monday, the Holy See referred to homosexuality as a "choice," described it as sinful and said it "cannot be recognized as objectively ordered" to God's plans. The stance is certain to disappoint millions of gay and lesbian Catholics around the world.
"The blessing of homosexual unions cannot be considered licit," the Vatican's top doctrinal office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, wrote in the statement.

God "does not and cannot bless sin," the statement added.

Pope Francis, who has frequently been praised for his welcoming tone towards LGBTQ people both within and outside the Church, approved the note.

The decision is a setback for Catholics who had hoped the institution would modernize its approach to homosexuality. Dozens of countries, include many in western Europe, have legalized same-sex marriages, and the Church's reticence to embrace LGBTQ people has long held the potential to alienate it from younger followers.
"It is not licit to impart a blessing on relationships or partnerships, even stable, that involve sexual activity outside of marriage, as is the case of the unions between persons of the same sex," the statement said."

Gay people do not see it as a sin because it is not a sin, it is how they are,some people are heterosexual and some homosexual.

[bill]

it is a lot safer to be a gay catholic or a gay mormon than it is to be a gay muslin

after all, catholics and mormons don't throw you off the roof of a 10 story building because you're gay

Humans can be so mean to others

They are in denial, if they look at all the gay priests in the church they would say homosexuality is fine.
