I think the Pope really misses the opportunity to emphasize the fallen nature of all these sins---adultery, homosexuality, bisexuality, pedophilia, divorce, inappropriate contentography, greed, lust, etc. He misses an opportunity to steer society away from the modern evolution worship cult and cave man mindset and get us back to Genesis and the Fall. We need to realize that ALL of us are fallen, not just some flukes of evolution, a bunch of mere freaks of nature or mutations. We are in this state of sin for a reason, and homosexuality is just one facet of that sad state of the unnatural. The problem is that society THINKS that all these sexual disorders ARE normal in that they see everything through either Darwin or evolutionary happenstance. The world needs to return to the understanding that we are all a mess, and that through Christ Jesus our sins can be cleansed and our disorders wiped clean. We live in a defeatist culture that tells us we are all screwed, we're all locked into our sins as biological imperatives, and that the old morality is b.s. concocted by a bunch of shamanistic nuts (aka Christians).
The Pope needs to make it clear that homosexuality can be cleansed in Christ just like inappropriate content addiction, alcoholism, greed, selfishness, racism, and every other malady that stems from the Fall.
What happened to seeing Christ as the Great Healer? What happened to the supernatural aspects of the sacramental life? What happened to faith in the Medicine of Immortality that is the Eucharist and the transformative power of Confession? What happened to seeing Christ and the Church as a vehicle for new life and rebirth in God's love?
Why must the Catholic Church emphasize social justice and alleviating poverty to the detriment of the message of transformation? There are millions of people on this Earth who aren't poor, aren't hungry, aren't homeless, but they are in infinitely WORSE spiritual states than the poor and hungry! I wish the Pope could preach a positive message of a transformative God and not just the let's feed the poor and the family is under attack usual sound bytes...
