"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

how do you like scriptually deride homophobia
laws in book of leviticus+Paul's letters to the Romans usually translate better as being about pederasty, not gay sex. Jesus said nothing on the topic, and His conversation with the Samaritan woman seems to make it clear His idea of a good life isn't just having a hetero-normative marriage. Loving your neighbor is the key bit above all else I focus on.
Hasn’t this been throughly debunked, though? I’ve seen some debate about it and people seem to think it was mostly the incorrect translation, so the worse conclusion was correct.
I've not heard that. I've also heard claims it ties into Canaanite temple prostitutes though. Anyway, Jesus made it clear the killing of law breakers was not to be done anymore, and kindness was to be shown to everyone.
