Sleepy thoughts
Something hit me last night as I started to drift off to sleep. In catechism class our priest told us that the 10 commandments were direct from God and as such they had to be obeyed in a way that the laws in Leviticus didn't because they are the laws of men. Well he also said anything that Jesus said was the same thing, obedience to his direct words is mandatory without variation but the words of the apostles have to be understood in context.
Well it hit me last night that in neither the 10 commandments nor the direct words of Jesus said anything at all about homosexuality. So by that argument it can be construed that homosexuality isn't actually something God is concerned with since the only speakings of it were in the "laws of men" I haven't actually heard this argument before which doesn't mean no one has made it but it did highlight to me a certain flaw in the catholic thinking on homosexuality.
