Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, 83, writes that Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx is “frighteningly naïve” for his proposal to bless gay concubinages because this would recognise the gay "way of life".
Writing on kath.net (February 2), Cordes states that Marx “ignores the clear revelation of God” adding, “Marx does not even mention that homosexuality always contradicts God’s will.” Cordes calls a blessing of gay unions “sacrilegious”.
“How about encouraging mafia activities ‘in individual cases’?”
The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. October 13, 1973
Yes. Cardinal Marx may wish homosexuals well... as human beings created in the Lord’s image ...
fine and dandy.
But he is a cleric. In a sacramental church, no less.
A cardinal or priest blessing a homosexual couple AS A HOMO COUPLE would be a sacrilege, imho, and certainly would be an offense to Biblical moral law.
Perhaps someone in Germany can find a Bible to give the Cardinal? A little light bedtime reading could help him a whole lot
In individual cases. Provided they're sincere.
