Oh, really? And what about anti-semitism? Was that not a doctrine? Then what did pope Paul IV do in 1964?
And in a generation or 2 - I'll bet your descendants will claim that oppression of homosexuals was "never a doctrine" and that "it's just what happened back in the days". Yeah - ignorance is bliss, isn't it. And it also helps to be a hypocrite...
No, it was not.
The Church's teaching on sexual morality is definitely written in official Church doctrine and will not change.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
