“[The vice of sodomy] mobilizes him in the militia of the evil spirit and force him to fight unspeakable wars against God. She detaches the unhappy soul from the company of the angels and, depriving it of it excellence, take it captive under her domineering yoke” (...)Once this poisonous serpent has sunk its fangs into this unfortunate man, he is deprived of all moral sense, his memory fails , and the mind's vision is darkened. Unmindful of God , he also forgets his own identity. St. Peter Damian -Liber Gomorrhianus ad Leonem IX Romanum Pontificem
