*Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger,* we read
<http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20030731_homosexual-unions_en.html>,
“*There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be
in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage
and family.”*

This statement means that a person errs when in his thinking he equates any
aspect of a homosexual pairing with the pairing of a man and woman. Why
does he err? Because there is no substantial likeness—whether in whole or
in part—between these two kinds of pairings. Accordingly, one must make a
distinction between homosexual and heterosexual couples. This includes
distinguishing between homosexual pairings and heterosexual pairings gone
bad, as in any instance of “divorce and remarriage.” In such an instance
the separation is requisite because *homosexuality is always contra naturam
(opposed to human nature)* whereas *divorce and remarriage is contra
rationem (opposed to right reason)*.* According to St. Thomas, the former
is a matter of greater gravitas since it contradicts human being itself in
addition to contradicting Judaeo-Christian morality*.

*All this (contra naturam and contra rationem) does damage to the
individual because the imago Dei within the person is being dismantled* (by
the person himself). There is also two-fold
*damage done within society, in view of the offense against marriage in its
essential meaning as a man-woman phenomenon; and more particularly within
the Church, in view of the offense against a sacrament given by Christ.*
