Is America the greatest country

[Longhorn]

To be fair the catechism only says gays are commiting a grave moral depravity, it doesn't explicity say they therefore must go to hell
(...Woo fucking hoo, I know )

Yes, it does teach that any sex outside of husband and wife is not moral, and of course that includes homosexual activity. However, there are many aspects that play a role in a person's culpability, and ultimately it is culpability (what is in a person's heart) that will matter in the next life. And when speculating about a person's culpability, if we do so at all, which we really shouldn't, we are required to assume the best of the person.

But it does teach that same sex sexual acts are 'intrinsically disordered' and can't be approved under any circumstances, which is singling them out, not just claiming that it's wrong because they're not married. The outside marriage thing sounds like simple rationalization to me. And I'd do that too if my church was this bigoted.
