I think your comment about how and why this is a problem specifically for the Catholic church is valid. But to cover a couple of verses quoted in point 2, just in case it is helpful for people trying to combat people wielding these to attack them: Ezekiel 16:50 - It's not clear that the toevah in Ezekiel is a sexual sin. Just because it is used in that way in some places is to ignore all the places it isn't. The point of Ezekiel 16:49-50 is that the sin of Sodom was inhospitality. If it should be interpreted as a sexual sin, there is nothing to say it is specifically sodomy [1]. It can easily be argued the sexual sin is the attempted rape of angels. Jude 1:7 - Similarly, there isn't anything here that identifies it as sodomy rather than rape. Countering the others, though, I think _does_ require letting go of univocality and infallibility. [1] Homosexuality isn't really a concept at this time. Instead of attraction, they focus on acts and power. |
