Is Love Subjective: Religion

     Religion, namely Catholicism, each specifies their boundaries to what they qualify to be a marriage. Much of the rejection regarding homosexual marriage in the Church stems from the original love between Adam and Eve. The idea being that God intended a marriage to symbolize the union between the original idea of love he displayed in Genesis. Pope Benedict discussed the issue of homosexuality in the church during his office.
He stated that the inclination toward homosexuality is not necessarily a sin, it can be considered a "tendency toward an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder." He continued, "A person engaging in homosexual behavior therefore acts immorally," because he feels that sex is only good if framed in the stance of being for procreation between a married man and woman.
Therefore, the Church is not against homosexuality, but an official Catholic Marriage is sacred and symbolic, and must be heterosexual.
