There is often a point made by LGBT promoters that “Jesus never speaks of Homosexulaity”. However, this is untrue. First off, as others have pointed out, Jesus is silent upon many issues. There are plenty of things that Jesus never speaks of. If we take Jesus’s silence upon every issue to be a divine thumbs-up, then there are plenty of things we consider wrong to be right. We can take his silence in thinking that this was a non-issue of his time. In fact, this is the most telling, “there’s a good reason none of the Gospels records Jesus directly mentioning it: in ancient Israel, no one disputed it was wrong.” (Fr. Charles Grondin, Catholic Answers)

On the issue of marriage, Jesus is not silent.

““Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.”” – Matthew 19:4-6, 8-9

When Jesus speaks of marriage he assumes that it is between one man and one woman. Jesus also tells us that marriage is a permenant bond between one man and woman, where the two become one flesh. Besides this, he says this is how God intended it, this is part of God’s creation. He says that this is in opposition to divorce. Divorce goes against God’s plan for marriage: One Man and One Woman bound as one flesh. Therefore anything against God’s plan, is inadmissable: divorce and same sex marriage, being the biggest.

Irregardless: “If Jesus wanted to challenge this aspect of Jewish theology, he most certainly could have done so.” (Fr. Charles Grondin, Catholic Answers). Jesus adresses many controversial issues, and he would not be afraid to anger the religious officials of his time.

But what we do hear form Jesus is quite clear: marriage is a permenant union between a man and a woman.

In this month of June, let us remember the true meaning of love is the Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart which was pierced upon the cross for all of man-kind out of love for each of us. A true self-sacrificial love that gave it’s life blood for us. Love is the complete giving of oneself.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – Have Mercy of Us!
