    Why homosexuality is banned by the Catholic Church
    The First Epistle to the Corinthians was a letter from St. Paul of Tarsus to the people of Corinth. Corinth, as was much of Greece at this time was home to 'the Greek homosexuality.' The purpose of this part of the letter was probably to set out, in no uncertain terms, that homosexuality was not permitted in the Christian creed. The alleged dating of the letter is AD 57.
    Prosecution of homosexuals was common in the early Church, but then again, this was prevalent in many religions of the time and in the following millennia with a few notable exceptions such as the Greek Pantheon. It is worth noting, however, that Bishop Amborse refused to allow Emperor Theodosius to re-enter Rome until he made a public repentance for the massacre of homosexuals in Thessalonica.

    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.
