it isn't just homosexuality. The catholic church were annoyed with this song, and that was before he came out of the closet. He was stating that no matter what he did, where he was, what he said, he was committing one of the 7 deadly sins, it was the way he had been made to think when he was at school and he is ironically stating about how impossible it is NOT to commit a 'sin'.
@honestfi You're right, it's about the whole "we're all sinners so you constantly have to confess your latest sins and get absolved" thing. I'm sure that being queer was one of many things that they gave him a hard time about in school. Although the song is obviously about Catholicism (even quoting the "Confiteor"), if you ask me it's not just Catholicism but Christianity in general: I think the whole idea that even newborn babies are sinners, just by being human, is totally twisted.
