Elton John 'Is A Sinner': Church Attacks Singer Over His Plan To Adopt Ukrainian Baby Boy

By WILL STEWART

Elton John was branded a 'sinner' by the Orthodox Church in Ukraine last night in the row over his wish to adopt a baby from the country.

The comment came after officials confirmed there has been no application yet for the 62-year-old singer to adopt Lev, a 14-month-old boy whose mother has HIV. [Pic in URL]

However, at least one government source speculated that liberal politicians might seek to put a law through the Ukrainian parliament to enable the pop star to circumvent curbs which comprehensively forbid him from adopting. The Donetsk Diocese of the Orthodox Church was uncompromising in its stance against any move to help the singer and his partner David Furnish, who entered into a civil partnership in 2005.

Spokesman Father Georgy Gulyaev said: 'Thank God it's impossible under Ukrainian law for Elton John to adopt a child. 'The Church is strictly against same-sex marriages and the damage they cause. It's written in Holy Scriptures that homosexual marriage and relations is a sin.

'It is a sin, it is against nature, and it represents the dead end of human development. 'People pretend to have good intentions, create semi-marriages and so-called families, and moreover they dare to adopt children. Unlike people who are blessed by God to create natural families, these are people who succumb to their passions.

We’re all sinners. Some have accepted the grace of salvation however.

I was thinking the same thing; something like, “Join the club.”

Age 62 is no time to be raising a toddler.

Elton with Bernie Taupin, the genius behind the genius.

Writer's never get enough credit.

Wow. I don’t agree with the lifestyle, but I’m torn here. Ukraine has so many orphans (we checked into adoption when we found we might not be able to have kids). The babies just lie in cribs crying because there aren’t enough people to hold them. Many of the babies suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome. Is it better to let a child grow up without human interaction, someone to love them? Is it promoting the gay agenda to let him adopt?

Genius??? Keith Richard had it right a few years back when he said that Lady Elton made an entire career with songs about dead blonds.

I get the feeling that a few seem to be oversimplying the matter from the headline.

What they probably mean is that Elton John is an unrepentant sinner who identifies himself as a moral reprobate who mocks sin and promotes that which the Bible calls an abomination.

In the moral vacuum of liberalism there is nothing to restrain or identify perversion.

This pervert and the likes like him shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kids. God help us all that we here in the US now allow for gay marriages. What a perversion. Thanks for the pic post.

I could never forget Bernie!

While I don’t believe gays should be able to adopt children anymore than they should be able to get married, Elton John is a musical genius. I go back to the Tumbleweed Connection days...

While the rest of us wait through 18 months of legal red tape before we can adopt.
