It seems that Catholic Church in Germany is ready to stop persecuting gays and accept homosexuality as OK
Quote:There was agreement that the sexual preference of humans is expressed in puberty and assumes a hetero- or homosexual orientation. Both were normal forms of sexual predisposition that could not be changed, or needed to be changed, by any specific socialization.
With regard to the coexistence of heterosexual couples, the bishops Koch and Bode referred to the papal text " Amoris laetitia ". The letter no longer rates a sexual relationship after divorce and remarriage as a serious sin and therefore does not provide for a general exclusion from receiving the Eucharist.
The participants disagreed whether the use of artificial contraceptives should be allowed in marriage and in the case of unmarried couples. So far, the Catholic Church considers only natural methods of contraception such as the temperature or cycle method to be morally justifiable.

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"
