We must be aware that “[a]s we proclaim the truth in love, it is not possible for us to avoid all criticism; nor is it possible to please everyone.”

Make no mistake, “[t]he Church’s doctrine regarding [homosexual behavior] is thus based…on the solid foundation of a constant Biblical testimony." (On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons)

"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, [Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10] tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.'

Here are bible verses about homosexuality that are foundational to the Catholic Church's position on this issue.

Health, is “a universal right which means that access to healthcare services cannot be a privilege.” - Pope Francis

There is “a clear consistency within the Scriptures themselves on the moral issue of homosexual behavior.”
