As per Msgr Charles Pope (7/4/17):
Some Catholics formally dissent due to a knowing and willful rejection of Church teaching, but the dissent of others is due more to the confusion brought on by a loud culture and a quiet pulpit.
Particularly culpable is any deacon, priest, or bishop who spreads error either by direct statements, intentional ambiguity, or questionable policies that offer mercy without reference to the necessary repentance....we do well to remember that one day we will have to account to Him....
the Bible clearly and unambiguously condemns homosexual acts. For example:
3....the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah depicts, among other things, the sinfulness of homosexual activity....you can read about it in Genesis 19. Some have tried to spread the error that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is merely about “hospitality,” ....let every Catholic note that 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....
It is never loving to lie to others or to confirm them in practices that will imperil their health or their ultimate salvation....
The proper pastoral care needed today is to clarify and confirm everyone in the ancient & apostolic faith entrusted to the Church.
