Saint Augustine of Hippo Quote




Those offenses which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of the Sodomites, which should all nations commit, they should all be held guilty of the same crime by the divine law, which hath not so made men that they should in that way abuse one another. For even that fellowship which should be between God and us is violated, when that same nature of which He is author is polluted by the perversity of lust.

Saint Augustine of Hippo from “The Confessions of Augustine” Book III, Chap. 8, no. 15
