Abstract
In the 13th century, sodomy, which was classified among the various sins against nature, was regarded as a primarily clerical vice. In both systematic theology and canon law, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was considered the just punishment for a sin that violated the natural procreative function of sexuality, was contrary to right reason and the natural order, and denied GodÆs injunction to increase and multiply.
