The church does not condone homo-sexual acts. I think this is where people are getting confused. Sexual acts can only be performed between a man and a woman through holy Matrimony. Sexual acts as a homosexual is like having pre-marital sex, which is a mortal sin. What the pope is saying is that, if science concludes that people can be "born gay", then it is not up to us to discourage them from practicing Catholicism. In other words, people can be gay and be attracted to men, if that is what they like, but acting under those conditions is in no way acceptable. Does what I'm saying make any sense to you?
Jesus' only beef with homosexuality is that it would be fornication.. Sex outside marriage.
Tell me again why gay marriage should be opposed?
