In contemporary America, Catholicism has shown itself as a great opponent of homosexuality (and other gender and sexuality alternatives) through biblical citations and reasoning derived from the Vatican’s interpretation. The Church’s more recent attempts can also be seen through appeals to science and logos with attacks made on the integrity of homosexual marriage and the unnatural and purposeless existence of these people in the human race. These protective measures are in order to further push the perpetuation of their religious practices and abstentions on a society that is slowly moving away from organized religion and towards a more accepting consciences.
	In a biblical context, we can see why homosexuality has been so detestable to Catholicism:
 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13
“And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." Romans 1:27
These instances are most of the basis for the anti-homosexual rhetoric. In the new world translation, it can be noted that these excerpts become much more specific in their references to homosexuality, which is a direct example of how the belief system has been relatively unchanged. in tandem with the repression of homosexuality, we can also see that sexuality and the exploration of one’s body is also considered sinful and unnatural. Some excerpts even state that harm should come because of these behaviors, implying that it is an action that can be changed or deserves punishment.

The critique of marriage as a large societal regulatory institution roots itself in the assumption that homosexuality is a perversion of the human reproductive process. As we can see from the biblical citations and certain
