It was the main reason God burnt Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground because of it according to the Bible. The word sodomy comes from Sodom.
Men having sex with men and women having sex with women is considered a sin because it deals only with pleasures of the flesh and has nothing to do with procreation.
The Pope is entitled to his opinion just as much as homosexuals are entitled to theirs in my opinion.
I think that homosexual people have the right to do as they want and it doesn't bother me, but they shouldn't hold it against people that do find it to be "wrong" as long as they are not bashing them.

I thought Sodom and Gomorrah were burned down to the ground because of prostitution?
In fact here's an article on how the homosexuality thing is a misconception.

I thought Sodom and Gomorrah got burned down because they were just dicks in general to the point of where they gang raped random people.
I mean that was the story, angels show up, stay with lot... villiage people surround his house and want to rape them.
Lot gives offers his daughters up... and then they leave.
I guess offering his daughters to get raped could be seen as "Hey at least it's not dudes." Though i think it had more to do with the old code that you should do everything in your power to prevent harm from coming to a traveler with whom you give lodgeing.
