Catholic Saints on Homosexuality.

A thread. -🧡 Image
β€œThe unnatural vice [sodomy] is the greatest of all sins after the sin of unbelief." -St. Thomas Aquinas Image
β€œEvery sexual intercourse [sodomy] that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man’s nature.” - St. Thomas Aquinas Image
β€œSince by the unnatural vices man
transgresses that which has been determined by nature with regard to the use of venereal actions, it follows that in this matter this sin is gravest of all.” - St. Thomas Aquinas Image
The sin against nature [Sodomy] debases man lower than even his animal nature." -St. Thomas Aquinas Image
β€œSince by the unnatural vices man
transgresses that which has been
determined by nature with regard to the use of venereal actions, it follows that in this matter this sin is gravest of all.”

- St. Thomas Aquinas Image
β€œSodomy pollutes the flesh, extinguishes the light of the mind, expels the Holy Spirit from the temple of the human heart."

⁃ St. Peter Damian Image
β€œAnd what more should I say since it [sodomy] expels the whole host of the virtues from the chamber of the human heart and introduces every barbarous vice as if the bolts of the doors were pulled out.”

- St. Peter Damian Image
β€œThis vice [sodomy] violates temperance, kills purity, stifles chastity and annihilates virginity with the sword of a most infamous union. It infects, stains and pollutes everything: it leaves nothing pure: there is nothing but filth.”

-St. Peter Damian Image
β€œThis plague [Sodomy] undermines the foundation of faith, weakens the strength of hope, destroys the bond of charity; it takes away justice, subverts fortitude, banishes temperance, blunts the keenness of prudence.” - St. Peter Damian Image
"The miserable flesh [of the sodomites] burns with the heat of lust; the cold mind trembles with the rancor of suspicion; and in the heart of the miserable man chaos boils like Tartarus [Hell].
- St. Peter Damian Image
"As the Sacred Scripture says, the Sodomites were wicked and exceedingly sinful.”

-Saint Peter Canisius Image
β€œThose unashamed of violating divine and natural law are slaves of sodomy never sufficiently execrated depravity.” -

St. Peter Canisius Image
β€œSomeone who lived practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pains in Hell than anyone else, because this is the worst sin that there is.”

- St. Bernardine Image
β€œNo sin in the world grips the soul as the accursed sodomy; this sin has always been detested by all those who live according to God.”

- St. Bernardine Image
All sodomites, men and women, died all over the earth, as Saint Jerome said commenting on the verse Lux orta est iusto [The light was born for the just] (Ps 96:11). This was to make it clear that He [Jesus Christ] was born to reform nature and to promote chastity.

St. Bonaventure, Sermon 21 - In Nativitate DominiImage
"Consider how great is that sin [sodomy] to have forced hell to appear even before its time!" - St. John Chrysostom Image
β€œThe sin of Sodom is contrary to nature, and it is an insult to the Creator." - St. John Chrysostom Image
β€œThe worst is that such an abomination is committed boldly and that the monstrosity became the law. Nobody nowadays fears, nobody blushes. They boast and they laugh at these actions.”

-St. John Chrysostom Image
β€œAll passions are dishonorable, for they make the soul a slave, and force it to do things that are shameful. But among these, the worst is lust between men."

-St. John Chrysostom Image
β€œSuch sins [of Sodomy] overturn the laws of nature, and they bring down the wrath of God upon those who commit them."

- St. John Chrysostom Image
β€œThe sins of Sodom are abominable
and deserve punishment whenever and wherever they are committed”

- St. Augustine Image
"Those offences which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of the Sodomites, which should all nations commit, they should all be held guilty of the same crime by the divine law.” -St. Augustine Image
β€œSodomy offends God and provokes His wrath."

- Pope St. Pius V (In his papal bull Horrendum illud scelus) Image
β€œLike the blind and stupid, homosexuals do not recognize the disease and misery in which they find themselves. This not only causes Me nausea, but displeases even the demons themselves, whom these miserable creatures have chosen as their lords.”

- St. Catherine Image
It is disagreeable to the demons, not because evil displeases them and they find pleasure in good, but because their nature is angelic and thus is repulsed upon seeing such an enormous sin being committed.

It is true that it is the demon who hits the sinner with the poisoned arrow of lust, but when a man carries out such a sinful act, the demon leaves.” -St. Catherine of SienaImage
β€œThey [homosexual acts] are born from an ardent frenzy; they are disgustingly foul; those who become addicted to them are seldom freed from that vice; they are as contagious as disease, passing quickly from one person to another.”

- St. Albert the Great Image
β€œSacred Scripture itself confirms that sulfur evokes the stench of the flesh, as it speaks of the rain of fire and sulfur poured upon Sodom by the Lord."

- St. Gregory the Great Image
"And Sodom and Gomorrah might have appeased [God’s wrath], had they been willing to repent, and through the aid of fasting gain for themselves tears of repentance." - St. Jerome Image
β€œ[God in the Law given to Moses] having forbidden all unlawful marriage, and all unseemly practice, and the union of women with women and men with men.”

- St. Eusebius of Caesarea Image
β€œβ€¦It was just that Sodomites, burning with perverse desires arising from the flesh like stench, should perish by fire and sulfur so that through this just punishment they would realize the evil they had committed, led by a perverse desire." - St. Gregory the Great Image
β€œWhat is against nature is against God. The sin of Sodom is an unnatural crime, and therefore it is especially hateful to God.” - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux Image

Holy Mass in Nagasaki Ruins, 1945.

Why did they bomb the most Catholic city in Japan? - A 🧡
Jacob Beser (L.A.): The Jew Who Bombed Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki ✑️ πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅β˜’οΈ

Did you know only one man participated in both atomic bomb operations against Japan? Yes. Only one.

- And that man is Jacob Beser, a Jew who FIRST considered serving in the 'Israeli' Air Force and the Haganah. He also had relatives in the "Rehovot" colony.Image
Image
Beser was a secret partner of the Manhattan Project. To our common knowledge, he was personally pivotal in dropping a second nuke on Japan. He even had plans for a 3rd to hit Nihama. Beser convinced his superiors to strike Nagasaki when the original target, Kukura, was β€œveiled in haze”.

At least... That's the official story. We know better.Image
