iPhone app and Fr. Z: Homosexual activity is a mortal sin.

"Activity... does that include dancing Howard?"
.
I was surprised to see Fr. Z even commenting on the news gay activists are against the Confession app on iPhone, but then I realized that Fr. Z is always interested in and knowledgeable about everything connected to the Internets.  Which helps to explain why he is The Number 1 Catholic blogger in the universe, in the history of the world, in the Church, etc..  Go vote for him here.  It is really a very major accomplishment that he is so well known you know - and as far as I know, never once found to be in error on anything doctrinal.
.
I'm not at all making fun of him or his good post on the queer lament from gay activists that the authors of the Confession app included "homosexual activity" as sinful and therefore a necessary part of the examination of conscience in preparation for a good confession.  In fact, gay people should use it (confession) frequently, and perhaps they would find themselves better equipped to overcome those disgusting temptations to sodomy.
.
Typically Father posts his commentary on news items within the published content - his comments are distinguished by the red.  In response to the gay activist's deluded statement, "Gay Catholics don't need to confess."  Father remarked, no doubt with great restraint:
.
 [They do if they commit homosexual acts!  Homosexual acts are intrinsically evil.  They are mortal sins.  Commit a mortal sin and die unrepentant and unconfessed and you will probably wind up for eternity in the state of separation from God which is called Hell. Sin = Death + Hell.] - Read the rest here.
.
Thus we see how and why homosexual activists are so eager to silence the truth - they do not want people to know the consequences, while they deny it themselves.  That is not charity.
.
Personally, I continue to pray for my deceased 'gay Catholic' friends who were actually told by priests and religious their homosexual activity was not sinful.
