Catholic Teaching

What dose the church teach on homosexuality?

Homosexuality refers to reations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents hoomosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexuality acts are intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the of life. They do not proceed from a genuine afffective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances canthey be approved.
ccc 2357

The bible says in Lv 18:22 and 20:13:

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abommination.

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed, they have forfeiited their lives.
