Cardinal Schönborn: At Synod, Church should embrace ‘positive elements’ of gay unions and other sexual sins
The Church should not look in the bedroom first, but in the dining room!” explained Cardinal Christoph Schönborn in a lengthy interview last week with the Italian Jesuit journal, La Civiltà Cattolica, using a mantra sure to be repeated at the upcoming October Synod on the Family.
In the interview, Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna, identifies himself as the intellectual architect of so-called “lifestyle ecumenism,” described in the controversial interim report at last year’s Synod on the Family with the approval of Pope Francis, which calls for the Church to change its pastoral approach to first find the “positives elements” in sexual relationships that violate the natural law and Church teaching, and consider admitting divorced Catholics in a state of adultery to Communion.
Re-affirming that position on homosexual unions, Schönborn says in the interview, “We can and we must respect the decision to form a union with a person of the same sex, [and] to seek means under civil law to protect their living together with laws to ensure such protection.” By contrast, Cardinal Burke declared in the recent video released last week: "It is heresy to teach that homosexual relations...are not disordered, to teach that they have positive elements."

And that would be what exactly?
Hey Cardy, name one.
Every sentimental, pro-homosexual “lifestyle” type should be forced, like me, to spend one night at Studio 54, the Crisco Disco, Marie’s Crisis, Sneakers, et al, and then tell me about the positive elements of this. I refused to go to The Ramrod - have to draw the line somewhere.
Well, if they’re buggering each other, then they’re leaving the alter boys alone, I guess.
Can we apply this to anything? If a woman gets pregnant by being raped, should we first look at the joy of the new baby coming into the world? If a mugger knocks someone over the head and takes their wallet, should we first look at the fact that the mugger now has money to buy food and won’t starve?
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; .. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
1 Thess 4:1-8
Coming soon: “Jesus was a metaphor”.
Don’t doubt it.
There are no positive elements of gay unions. Read what God had to say about homosexuality. Oh, did you ever hear of Him?
That’s right, just forget about God’s word, decide for yourself what’s right.
>> And that would be what exactly?
We have their names on a public record, so they’re easier to hunt down when the time comes to send them to the camps for disposal. ;-)
So, Cardinal, should the Church also embrace the 'positive elements' of other sins, such as murder?
Just curious.
So, what are the positive elements of abomination and apostasy?
This is deeply disturbing. Schönborn should be deposed.
Lowlife hellbound scumbag...
Catholics can no longer point the finger at Episcopals.
I was genuinely interested in what your take might be.
Disturbing indeed.
God’s grace to You and Yours....
““Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 7:15
and perhaps its no small coincidence that homosexuals are frequently said to love sheep?
Dear Cardinal, their "gay" union is based on what they do in the bedroom, not in the dinning room.
