    TeChNiCaLlY, under Catholic doctrine, being sexually attracted to or being in love romantically with someone of the same sex haven’t ever been a sin. Just having sex with them is. What’s new is that they are now willing to bless your sexless non-marriage homo life partnership. It’s simultaneously useless to any gay Catholics, and a huge middle finger to the more conservative side of the church.

      I just searched and it says “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind”. So if it is limited to practices doable with women… can I jerk off or suck cock?

        It’s also based on Paul’s ramblings, so I’m not entirely clear how you get from the biblical text to the official Catholic doctrine.
