“<span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to

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 <span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>homosexuality is always <i>contra naturam</i> (opposed to human nature)</b></span> whereas <span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b>divorce and remarriage is <i>contra rationem</i> (opposed to right reason)</b></span>.<span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><b> According to St. Thomas, the former is a matter of greater <i>gravitas</i> since it contradicts human being itself in addition to contradicting Judaeo-Christian morality</b></span>.
