In Mt 19:3-9 Jesus referred to Genesis 2: 8-25 (The Garden of Eden) when lecturing the Pharisees on divorce being wrong. "He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female ,'and said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." When God created us He made us male and female for a reason. He did not make us male and male nor female and female. Why did God take bone from bone and flesh from flesh to create "woman?" Could God have kept His promise to make Abram "a great nation" without children? In Exodus 1:7 "Then the children of Israel increased and multiplied , became numerous, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them." God said in Genesis 1 "Be fruitful and multiply." To be fruitful and multiply our families must be stable and grow. That is why the Church has been against birth control.

From Romans 1:14-32 Paul writes to the Church about the righteousness of God through faith in Christ and God's wrath "against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..." Sexual immorality is on this long list of practices leading to death. "Professing to be wise they became fools..." In 1 Corinthians Paul wrote Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites...will inherit the kingdom of God."

We must live by the Great Commandment Mt. 22:36-39. We must fulfill the Great Commission (Mt. 28:18-20) through the Church "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." Acts 2 describes the arrival of the Holy Spirit and the life of the early Church. "They continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." (Acts 2:42)

The apostles' doctrine and fellowship is the key to the survival of the Church. The twin pillars of the Church is the Mass and the Scriptures. In 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Paul writes "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God... The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

In 2 Timothy 2:14-26 Paul wrote to Timothy about apostolic teaching versus error and apostolic conduct versus error. "Shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer." In 2 Timothy 3:1-9 Paul writes about the moral decline in the last days. "Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud...."

I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices. This is holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform to the patterns of the world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:1-2

"While Christians are dying for their faith and their fidelity to Jesus, in the West, men of the Church are trying to reduce the requirements of the Gospel to a minimum." Robert Cardinal Sarah God or Nothing

ok does he say a man lives the home of his parents to join another man ? .or does he contradict what God the Father in Genesis ,Then the Lord God said "it is not good for the man to live alone i will make a SUITABLE companion to help him."He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him .That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife an they become one.Mark 10.5In the beginning God made them male and female>>>>>>if This priest does not believe the Gospel and you can not teach the truth maybe you have no business in being a priest .If you tell we should respect a gay person i agree but i can not accept lies as truth
