If a Pope Can Reverse Church Teaching on Death Penalty, Why Not on Homosexuality?

Why not? Francis has reversed the teaching on adultery, marriage, and now the death penalty. Why not perversion as well?

And I love Rorate's tweet!

From Gloria.tv

The pro-gay New Ways Ministry uses Pope Francis’ “change” of Church teaching on the death penalty to argue in favour of accepting homosexuality.

Writing on NewWaysMinistry.org (August 3), the group sees Francis' recent turnaround as proof that “Church teaching can [allegedly] change” even to its “opposite”.

According to the group, the current ecclesial discussions about homosexuality “have great potential to shape future changes in Church teaching in regard to those topics”.

Twitter-User Rorate Caeli therefore suggests the following change in the Catechism:

"For a long time, the Church considered homosexual acts intrinsically disordered. With a better understanding of human dignity, we now believe them to be delightful. The hierarchy is filled with people with such inclinations, a sign of divine favor."

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
