A recent letter-writer complained of being limited to 250 words in his reply to a lengthy article on a significant pronouncement by a major world faith leader. I should need under half that for this reply to that letter.

I just have one simple, put-up-or-shut-up question for the writer: Can you please cite the specific book, chapter, and verse in the Bible where Jesus Christ explicitly condemns homosexuality?

I’m pretty sure the nuns taught me that it is a mortal sin to put false words into the mouth of God, either heresy or blasphemy, I forget exactly which. Maybe both?

Waiting patiently for your research …
