text: Ever see the episode of West Wing where President Bartlett tears into the fundy about Leviticus (it was actually quoting another piece).  If you want to claim homosexuality is so bad but neglect tatooing, pork and shellfish than you are using the Bible for your own prejudice.  Natural law is by reason.  Scripture is authority, but the authority of past actors.  It can guide but is not determinative, especially if it is not revelation but instead its own analysis of natural law.  If the Church ignores new evidence than it is the Church that is bringing about its own suffering (or rather, the hierarchy - most of the faithful agree with my points more and more each day).
