Do you know what the Will of God is? It is that we be holy—that we abstain from all sexual immorality.



1Timothy 5:20
As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them publicly, so that the others may also be afraid.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:3
It is the will of God that you should lead a life of sanctity. You must refrain from sexual immorality.




St. Augustine of Hippo

The disease of disordered desire is what the apostle refers to, when, speaking to married believers, he says, “This is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication, that everyone of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the disease of desire, even as the Gentiles who do not know God.” The married believer, therefore, must not only not use another man’s vessel—which is what they do who lust after other men’s wives—but he must know that even his own vessel is not to be possessed in the disease of disordered sexual desire. Paul’s counsel is not to be understood as if the apostle prohibited conjugal—that is to say, lawful and honorable—cohabitation

 

492. What are the principal sins against chastity?
Grave sins against chastity differ according to their object: adultery, masturbation, fornication, pornography, prostitution, rape, and homosexual acts. These sins are expressions of the vice of lust. These kinds of acts committed against the physical and moral integrity of minors become even more grave.

1 Thessalonians 4:8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:5
Not in the lust of passion, even as the Gentiles who know not God.











Caesarius of Arles Those who do not admonish adulterers make us suspect that the reason for this failure of reproof is that they commit similar sins themselves.

  Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples

Clement Of Rome: Those who do such things are hateful to God—and not only those who do them but those who take pleasure in those who do them.

 

Saint Catherine of Siena: In wicked ministers, the sin against nature (homosexuality) reigns. This sin is repulsive even to demons.

A Vision Saint Catherine of Siena Had Concerning This Matter (The Dialogue, 124)

"(...) those unhappy men do not only check such tendency, but that they do something much worse and they fall in the vice against the nature. They are blind and stupid, whose confused intelligence does not perceive the vileness in which they live.

I displease this last sin, because I am the Eternal Purity. It is to Me so abominable that by its cause I made disappear five cities. (cf. Genesis 19, 24). My Justice is not able to support it more.

That sin, nevertheless, does not only dislike to Me. It is even unbearable to the demons, who are had by patterns by those unfortunate ministers.

The demons do not tolerate that sin. They do not wish the virtue, but by his angelical origin, they challenge to see so stinking vice.

They throw the poisoned arrows of lust, but they turn round at the moment at which the sin is committed ".

 

“I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep your commandments.” (Ps 119: 158) (Saint Augustine. Exposition of Psalm 30, Sermon 2, n.4)

 

Sin destroys "human dignity" and lowers man to the level of a Beast

Saint Thomas Aquinas: “However, they are called passions of ignominy because they are not worthy of being named, according to that passage in Ephesians (5:12): ‘For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.’ For if the sins of the flesh are commonly censurable because they lead man to that which is bestial in him, much more so is the sin against nature, by which man debases himself lower than even his animal nature.”



 “By sin, man loses a twofold dignity, one in respect of God, the other in respect of the Church. In respect of God, he again loses a twofold dignity. one is his principal dignity, whereby he was counted among the children of God, and this he recovers by Penance, which is signified (Luke 15) in the prodigal son, for when he repented, his father commanded that the first garment should be restored to him, together with a ring and shoes. The other is his secondary dignity, viz. innocence, of which, as we read in the same chapter, the elder son boasted saying (Luke 15:29): “Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandments”: and this dignity the penitent cannot recover” (Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, Q.89, A3).


The Scriptures contradict the satanic deception of this so-called "infinite dignity."


 

  Matthew 7:23

 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
