2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

That's interesting, as I've never read that sentence and I went through 12 years of Catholic education and read much on my own.
I knew homosexuality, or more specifically the physical acts themselves, was considered against the natural order and a perversion that was against the will of God and forbidden.
I will accept your above quote as I trust your honesty. I guess I learned something.
But, the facts as I presented them regarding the inviolable First Amendment Rights of the Roman Catholic Church remain unchanged.
