"Grave sins against chastity differ according to their object: adultery, masturbation, fornication, pornography, prostitution, rape, and homosexual acts. These sins are expressions of the vice of lust. These kinds of acts committed against the physical & moral integrity of minors become even more grave" (Compendium of the Catechism, #492).

"homosexual interpreters say that the sin of Sodom is not homosexuality but 'the failure to offer hospitality to strangers.' This has to be one of the most outrageous examples of intentional misinterpretation of Scripture ever attempted" (Fr. Dwight Longenecker, 5/10/2012).

"The goods of conjugal love, which for those who are baptized is sanctified by the sacrament of Matrimony, are unity, fidelity, indissolubility, and an openness to the procreation of life" (Compendium of the Catechism, #495).
