2 oct 1952 año - We call it "Homosexuality" [Part 5]

Descripción:

"So also the person who teaches or condones the crimes for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed—we have coined a softer name for them than came from old; we now speak of homosexuality, which, it is tragic to say, is found among both sexes.

“I wonder if you girls have ever reflected on the thought that was in the mind of the man who first began to praise you for your boyish figures. Not without foundation is the contention of some that the homosexuals are today exercising great influence in shaping our art, literature, music and drama.

“Mothers, let no lack of teaching on your part lead to such a tragedy. Teach your daughters and equally your sons, the truth about his transgression.”

It should be noted this is the first recorded instance where the words “homosexual” and “homosexuality” were used by a Church official in public.
