From the preface by the cardinal:
Quote:In the Author's story, there is nothing further from his mind than to consider homosexuality as something innate. This is another deception perpetuated against human freedom. There is no scientific proof of genetic homosexuality that is therefore either unaware or obliged. Even if science can demonstrate that homosexuals are born, the fact remains that this cannot reduce the freedom of the individual to his choices and behaviors. The teaching of the Church, an expert on humanity, is clear when it condemns sin, that is, the conscious and deliberate rebellion against God, but never the sinner. It is no coincidence that has filled the sky with saints and has never sentenced anyone to hell, while warning that perdition is a possibility and a danger.
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"
