I've noticed this as well, im new into my studies into orthodoxy, and already i feel like im studying basic theology. https://youtu.be/7jvap4ItDlk vid related. Is, what i was learning last night, you start to see how the west went down this secular hell route very early on. I've gotten my orthodox study bible very recently, now the only thing limiting me is finding an orthodox parish.

Catholics believe in original sin, that we are born morally guilty of Adam and Eve's sin, similar to most protty sects, while Orthodox believe in ancestral sin, that we are not born "guilty" for Adam's sin but we face the consequences of his actions.

We have different understandings of Heaven and Hell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Romanides#Heaven_and_Hell

Catholics venerate Mary a bit too much, some call her "coredemptrix"
Catholic catechism 841 claims muslims and catholics worship the same God, which is blasphemy and heresy.
Vatican 2 as with most catholic innovations is "shit" after the 7th ecumenical council is null and void and not guided by the holy spirit.

Catholic church banned clerical marriage around the 10th century, which is actually against scripture since bishops/presbyters can/should be the husband of one wife. Also since monastics take vows of celibacy the ruling is quite redundant. Orthodox priests are allowed to marry/remain married, ortho monks are not.

We differ on the Nicene Creed, catholics accepted it originally but then changed it to calim that the holy spirit proceeds from the father and the son, mostly this was done for political reasons, Pope Leo at the time tried to reject it but the emperor Charlemagne overruled him.

Catholicism is less true to tradition, protestantism is even worse.
The best liturgies are orthodox divine liturgies, catholic mass doesn't compare.

bisexuals. pansexuals. freaks. pedos-fags aren't picky about the holes they put their penises in.

Anyway even if the Sodom event wasn't in the bible homosexuality would still be an abomination against God and man and all things holy and good.

The bible doesn't like to paint detailed pictures of it. To have sex is to "know" someone or "lay" with them. It doesn't use vulgar jargon. So it'll say things like "if a man lies with a man as he does with a woman, it is an abomination" or "Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Only straight marriages were sanctified and approved of scripturally and by tradition. Gay marriage was never an option, never mentioned, never celebrated. So gay sex is impossible, since sex outside marriage is fornication.

Jesus reiterated the heterosexual nature of marriage in the NT. Paul did as well.
