We want to remove a petition that condemns the catholic church as a hate group because of its belief on homosexuality . The modern arguments in favor of homosexuality have thus been insufficient to overcome the evidence that homosexual behavior is against divine and natural law, as the Bible & the Church, as well as the wider circle of Jewish,Christian,Muslim writers, have always held.

They are contrary to the natural law.They close the sexual act to the gift of life. Homosexual desires, however, are not in themselves sinful. Only if one acts upon them
