I like Reverend Ed Trevor.
Here's what I said in the comments.
I respond by pointing out that, as Paul said, all do the same things that they find disgusting when others do it. I tell them to bridge the artificial barrier between Romans 1 and 2 because Paul pointed out things that his audience would find disgusting when other people did it to point out they do it too. The recent statement by Pope Leo XIV that said the ideal family was based on a "stable union of a woman and a man" doesn't even apply to the majority of such marriages, given the adultery rate - by one or both - couples who hate each other but stay married, those who divorce and remarry even when they are civil about sharing custody of children, ( who are adulterers according to Jesus), the large number who are anything but civil in that instance. those who become single parents through abandonment, death, involuntary separation (such as imprisonment or forced immigration of some kind) , those who are single parents by choice, those who are in any number of unconventional families, some of which are headed by a parent and a grandparent or aunt or uncle or other, etc.
