In front of this mocking cartoon, we would like those who are responsible for supervising the correct doctrine of priests - and it seems that these persons in charge are called bishops, term deriving from Greek bishop, which means vigilant / he who watches over — would enlighten us on how we should interpret certain passages of the Blessed Apostle Paul. Just in case, it is appropriate to delete them from the Holy Scriptures? Or it could be sufficient to avoid saying "Word of God" at the end of the proclamation of certain passages, explaining to Believers in Christ that the Apostle was in grave error? In fact, Paul writes:

«Ptherefore God abandoned them to infamous passions: in fact their women have changed the natural use into that which is against nature; similarly also men, leaving the natural relationship with the woman, they became inflamed in their lust for one another, committing infamous acts with men, receiving in themselves the deserved reward for their own aberration» (RM 1, 24-27).

It's still:

«Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't fool yourself: neither fornicators, born idolatry, nor adulterers, ne prostitutes, born sodomiti, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, not cursed, nor will they extortionately inherit the kingdom of God» (The Cor 6, 9-10).

It will also be appropriate, always in the light of the illuminating cartoon by Giovanni Berti aka Gioba, also delete this passage from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

«Homosexuality refers to relationships between men or women who experience sexual attraction, exclusive or predominant, towards people of the same sex. It manifests itself in very varied forms over the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychic genesis remains largely unexplained. Relying on the Holy Scripture, which presents homosexual relationships as serious depravities (cf.. GN 19,1-29; RM 1,24-27; 1 Color 6,9-10; 1 TM 1,10), Tradition has always declared that “acts of homosexuality are intrinsically disordered” (Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, You. Human person, 8: AAS 68 (1976) 85). They are against natural law. They preclude the gift of life from the sexual act. They are not the fruit of true emotional and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved […] A significant number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies. This inclination, objectively disordered, constitutes a test for most of them. Therefore they must be welcomed with respect, compassion, delicacy. In their regard, any sign of unfair discrimination will be avoided. Such people are called to carry out God's will in their life, e, if they are Christian, to unite the difficulties they may encounter as a result of their condition to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross " (NN. 2357-2358)

We are sure that Jesus Christ, to those who practiced «the other side» he said «… but that's okay, eh, eh …» and that a priest can spread this mocking message in the total indifference of those who should monitor the doctrinal and moral orthodoxy of priests?
