Thank you for posting the article. The author is on point in my opinion. In the past month two more, obscene, occurrences within the Christian world have two men coming out and saying homosexuality is not a sin. The first is Nax Lucado and the second is J.D. Greer (think I got this right), who is the current president of the Southern Baptist Convention. So the war is definitely on.

The Church teaches that same sex or opposite sex attraction is not sinful. Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman In marriage..
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
2360 Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman. In marriage the physical intimacy of the spouses becomes a sign and pledge of spiritual communion. Marriage bonds between baptized persons are sanctified by the sacrament

SGT Randal Groover true sir. Hate the sin but love the sinner. But when we start apologizing for saying homosexuality is a sin we are wrong.

SR Kenneth Beck sorry, but the church is wrong. Same sex relationships are sinful according to the Bible. Heterosexual prior to marriage is also sinful.

My Brother in Christ,
Which teaching of the Church, in my article is wrong. Are you referring to my first sentence, my interpretation of the passages in the Catechism?
PS
Paschal greeting, an Easter custom among Coptic and Greek Christians to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!" and the response is Alithos Anesti ("Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! " - "Truly He is Risen!" or "He Has Risen Indeed!")
