Is the homosexual act beast like?

QUESTION?

Jesse you mentioned at a presentation that "homosexual acts are beast like," how can you justify such a statement?

ANSWER!

The word ‘beastlike’ means (dictionary.com): cruel, coarse, filthy, the crude animal nature common to humans. This is precisely what the act of sodomy is. Prisons are governed by the law of the jungle, 'only the strong survive.' That is why stronger prisoners with cruelty and evil design in their hearts allow their lower fallen nature to take over and forcibly sodomize the weaker prisoners. This is beastlike behavior plain and simple.

CCC 2357 says: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural law…”

*Grave means (dictionary.com) seriously or critically.

*Depravity means (dictionary.com) – morally bad, corrupt, pervert and evil.

Grave depravity than means: seriously and critically bad, corrupt, perverted and evil. This is how the Church describes the act of sodomy.

Here is how some Church Fathers described ‘sodomy.’

151 AD Justin Martyr "[W]e have been taught that to expose newly-born children is the part of wicked men; and this we have been taught lest we should do anyone harm and lest we should sin against God, first, because we see that almost all so exposed (not only the girls, but also the males) are brought up to prostitution. And for this pollution a multitude of females and hermaphrodites, and those who commit unmentionable iniquities, are found in every nation. And you receive the hire of these, and duty and taxes from them, whom you ought to exterminate from your realm. And any one who uses such persons, besides the godless and infamous and impure intercourse, may possibly be having intercourse with his own child, or relative, or brother. And there are some who prostitute even their own children and wives, and some are openly mutilated for the purpose of sodomy; and they refer these mysteries to the mother of the gods" (First Apology 27).

220 AD Tertullian "[A]ll other frenzies of the lusts which exceed the laws of nature, and are impious toward both [human] bodies and the sexes, we banish, not only from the threshold but also from all shelter of the Church, for they are not sins so much as monstrosities" (Modesty 4).

253 AD Cyprian of Carthage "Oh, if placed on that lofty watch-tower, you could gaze into the secret places--if you could open the closed doors of sleeping chambers and recall their dark recesses to the perception of sight--you would behold things done by immodest persons which no chaste eye could look upon; you would see what even to see is a crime; you would see what people embruted with the madness of vice deny that they have done, and yet hasten to do--men with frenzied lusts rushing upon men, doing things which afford no gratification even to those who do them" (Letters 1:9). Embruted (dictionary.com) means: to degrade to the level of a beast.

400 AD The Apostolic Constitutions "[Christians] abhor all unlawful mixtures, and that which is practiced by some contrary to nature, as wicked and impious" (Apostolic Constitutions 6:11).

Saint Catherine of Siena, a religious mystic of the 14th century, relays words of Our Lord Jesus Christ about the vice against nature (homosexuality), which contaminated part of the clergy in her time. Referring to sacred ministers, He (JESUS) says: “They not only fail from resisting this frailty [of fallen human nature] … but do even worse as they commit the cursed sin against nature. Like the blind and stupid, having dimmed the light of their understanding, they do not recognize the disease and misery in which they find themselves. For this not only causes Me nausea, but displeases even the demons themselves, whom these miserable creatures have chosen as their lords. For Me, this sin against nature is so abominable that, for it alone, five cities were submersed, by virtue of the judgment of My Divine Justice, which could no longer bear them…. It is disagreeable to the demons, not because evil displeases them and they find pleasure in good, but because their nature is angelic and thus is repulsed upon seeing such an enormous sin being committed. It is true that it is the demon who hits the sinner with the poisoned arrow of lust, but when a man carries out such a sinful act, the demon leaves.” (St. Catherine of Siena, El diálogo, in Obras de Santa Catarina de Siena (Madrid: BAC, 1991), p. 292)  http://www.tldm.org/News7/homosexualitySaints.htm -
