[video] Pastor Joel Osteen: Homosexuality is ‘a Sin’, Is he Right?

Women please chime in. Would you date a man who was homosexual and then became heterosexual or would you believe that once he crossed that line there is no coming back? I myself believe there is no turning back, but I want ladies to tell me what they think. Men also let me know.

Pastor Joel Osteen says homosexuality is a sin. The full interview airs January 26 on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

 

Vatican Reveals Secrets of Worst Sins

The Apostolic Penitentiary, or “tribunal of conscience”, has been shrouded in secrecy ever since it was established by Pope Alexander III in 1179 and until now has never provided details of the cases it scrutinises.

They are considered so heinous by the Catholic Church that only the Pope can grant absolution to those who perpetrate them.

But in an effort to present a more transparent image and to encourage more people to make confessions, the tribunal held a two-day conference in Rome in which it discussed its purpose and inner workings.

“Even though it’s the oldest department of the Holy See, it’s very little known – specifically because by its nature it deals with secret things,” said Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, the tribunal’s second most senior official.

While priests and bishops can deal with confessions of sins as grave as murder or even genocide, the tribunal is reserved for crimes which are viewed by the Church as even more serious.

They include attempting to assassinate the Pope, a priest abusing the confidentiality of the confessional by revealing the nature of the sin and the person who admitted to it, or a priest who has sex with someone and then offers forgiveness for the act.
