They Receive in Themselves the Fitting Recompense of Their Perversity

Saint Paul in his letter to the Romans says that homosexuality is a punishment for the idolatry (false worship) of the non-believers and that that perversity is punished in the flesh (as we see clinically in the article below).

Here is the relevant text from the Apostle to the Nations.

"Therefore God has given them up in the lustful desires of their heart to uncleanness, so that they dishonor their bodies among themselves--they who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever, amen.

"For this cause God has given them up to shameful lusts; for their women have exchanged the natural use for that which is against nature, and in like manner the men also, having abandoned the natural use of the woman, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men doing shameless things and receiving in themselves the fitting recompense of their perversity...those who practise such things are deserving of death. And not only do they do these things, but they applaud others doing them." (Romans 1:24-28, 32b)

This puts Kathleen Melonakos' work in perspective (it explains the why of the physical corruption and of the immorality [the denial of the one true God] and the cover up which tries to deny them).
