Interesting how so many of these theologians argue that homosexuality is a sin because it supposedly isn't found in nature - which is a) not a theological argument, and b) false (we have plenty of evidence of same-sex sexual behavior in various species nowadays, but I guess this wasn't known yet in the medieval period?)

I went to a local library after work one day to check out the area where they sell used books. There was a huge collection of stuff on Christian theology, particularly on Christianity & homosexuality. The librarian on duty told me that two old Catholic monks had dropped it all off yesterday. "I think they were gay monks," he said. Naturally, I bought an armful of books & pamphlets and now I'm finally reading them!
