No quote? OK, I can provide one:

“One who lives practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pain in Hell than anyone else, because this is the worst sin that exists.”

Great find, Pinky!

The entire quote is worth reading (for context)

No sin has greater power over the soul than the one of cursed sodomy, which was always detested by all those who lived according to God’s law. …

Such passion for untenable practices borders on madness. This vice disturbs the intellect, unbalances an elevated and generous state of soul, drags lofty thoughts down to base ones, makes men pusillanimous and irascible, obstinate and hardened, servilely soft and incapable of anything.

Furthermore, the will, agitated by the insatiable drive for pleasure, no longer follows reason but rather the tumult of the passions. …

One who lives practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pain in Hell than anyone else, because this the worst sin that exists.

“Love is love” is diabolical deception!
