text: You find a recalcitrant Catholic, familiar with the rabbis, who without any exceptions considered homosexual behavior a “Toaiva” - an abomination so severe that it merited the death penalty. Were it not for the fact that homosexuality is prevalent in Western Society today, there would be little controversy. It is clearly forbidden and never condoned anywhere in the Torah.
  
  The very context of the prohibition - it is couched between the prohibitions of child sacrifice and bestiality - makes clear the extent of the OT’s condemnation.
  
  I specifically reject the revisionism of Theodor Noldeke, J. Maxwell Miller, John H. Hayes, et al that the sin of Sodom was inhospitality or that its plain meaning is a modern gloss. I complete reject their enterprise all related ones, including your own.
  
  Sorry.
