Earthquake? Mm, maybe. Or not.

A ‘Pastoral Earthquake’: Catholic Church Proposes Extraordinary Shift On Gays And Lesbians

Does the Church still support criminalization of homosexual acts?

Does it continue to regard homosexuality as a matter of intrinsically disordered desire?

Does it continue to regard both the desire and the act as sinful, wrong, contrary to God's will?

In the OT, homosexuality is labeled an abomination punishable by death and the principal provocation of God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

In the NT, it remains an abomination.

Does the Church still regard those passages as theologically and morally definitive and authoritative?
