• "Some have tried to spread the error that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is merely about 'hospitality'....the Catechism includes Genesis 19 in it scriptural notes on the biblical basis for forbidding homosexual acts....the Bible teaches: homosexual activity is sinful, as are other sexual sins such as fornication and adultery " (Quotes from...Msgr Charles Pope, 3/11/23).

• The Cardinal’s Lament: A Reply to His Reply (Catholic World Report, 3/9/23)
  "Cardinal Robert W. McElroy defends the morality of some instances of sex between LGBT and divorced and remarried Catholics. I reply here to four problems with his defense: it proposes
  1) a misleading conception of conscience;
  2) a misrepresentation of the history and content of the Catholic Church’s absolute condemnation of all non-marital sexual acts;
  3) a misunderstanding of the relationship between the doctrinal & the pastoral realms; &
  4) a non-Christian understanding of conversion, accompaniment, and discipleship"
