Priest in Spain who preached on the affective disorder of homosexuality publicly harassed
Father Oscar Martín, a priest of the Diocese of Ciudad Real, Spain, has been publicly harassed for preaching the Catholic doctrine on homosexuality, explaining in a homily that the lack of parental affection in childhood is the origin of same-sex attraction “in many cases.”
Martín explained that “in many cases, this comes from a lack that was not satisfied at the beginning of his life, in the first days, months of his life.”
Specifically, he referred to someone born “with a special sensitivity, more sensitive, more in need of attention, affection, kisses, hugs, games, physical contact with his father.”
In such a way that a lack of esteem in childhood is expressed in these people “with that sexual content” when “what he seeks is healthy affection and healthy affection from another man, which he has not received as a child.”
The Church also teaches that homosexual tendencies are “objectively disordered” and that same-sex attraction “constitutes for most of them a trial.”
Regarding homosexual acts, the Catechism states that “they are intrinsically disordered” and “do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity,” such that “under no circumstances can they be approved.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
