It is worthwhile, concerning the subject of homosexuality, to hear what the wise and God-bearing Holy Fathers of the Church say and to read what they write. This is because the Fathers do not constitute a dead legacy, nor are they outside reality. They are, above all, interpreters of the spirit of the divine Scriptures, but also important students of the human being. Indeed, as those knowledgeable in secular learning and Christian literature, they concerned themselves with man, virtue, and vice; they literally felt pain over human affairs, labored for them, and struggled for the perfection of human life, with eternity as their ultimate aim.
