Quid est veritas?

Once again, Texas priest Fr. Michael Rodriguez has come to the defense of Catholic doctrine with his strong remarks regarding homosexuality, reminding that "The question always has to come back to what is the truth." He notes that...
"Unfortunately, homosexual activists continue to avoid the real issues under the cover of these words...equal rights, dignity... The Church acknowledges all that, but there's still the real issue that, what is right and what is wrong? What are God's commandments? We like to talk a lot about rights: what is our duty to our fellow men, what is our duty to God, what do we have to do to be saved?"
Fr. Rodriguez previously urged the faithful to treat homosexuals "with love, understanding, and respect", but reminded that "Homosexual acts lead to the damnation of souls."
"Quid est veritas?" (Latin for "What is truth?", cf. Jn. 18:38)
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination." (Lev. 18:22)
