Why the Catholic Church Opposes Same-Sex Unions

Description

The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for unity and openness to life. While having a homosexual inclination is not sinful, engaging in homosexual acts goes against God’s plan for sexuality as revealed in Scripture. In this video, we explore why same-sex unions cannot be recognized as marriage in the Catholic faith, the distinction between orientation and action, and how the Church calls all people to chastity, regardless of orientation. We’ll also share resources like Courage that help Catholics with same-sex attraction live faithfully.
