Kohlgraf: The Bible has "no eternal truths" on homosexuality

Gee, I guess it's a good thing that the Catholic Faith is not bound by "Scripture alone", isn't it?

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Yup! We’ve been warned! These men will have to answer to Almighty God for leading souls astray! Lord have mercy!
