Tell that to the Monkeys see where that goes.
A good appointment for sure.
Raise those little red books and rejoice, comrade Fagola.
“...homosexuality is a defective way of manifesting sexuality, because that has a structure and a purpose, which is procreation.”
He’s saying the same thing basically that Phil Robertson said.
So, is he saying they are born that way or it’s a condition that come on over time (like high blood pressure, his example)?
He is correct. Whatever causes this condition, it’s ridiculous to say it’s not a defect or disability. To say otherwise would be like saying blindness is equal to sight which I sincerely doubt intelligent blind people believe.
Well that’s it – I won’t be watching Pope Dynasty anymore…
We’re so far from reality, if this statement is considered controversial. Of course the preference for sexual relationships that do not produce offspring is a defect. The birds know it, the bees know it, the plants know it, the trees know it.....
I believe it is called Same Sex Attraction Disorder (SAAD). And it is a DISORDER, i.e. not natural. It is not in God’s plan for mankind. How could it be? There would not be a “mankind” otherwise.
Right on. Too bad he is 84, not 64.
Nice to hear someone who isn’t afraid to speak plainly.
It’s not genetic, and if it were, it would be dysgenic and would not express...except in the first generation. After which there would be low probability of continuity.
Nature doesn’t favor organisms that aren’t equipped to reproduce.
So Homosexuality is a personality disorder brought on by environmental factors, nothing else.
My liberal mother wouldn’t agree with me that homosexuality is deviant behavior even when I pointed out that it’s a binary choice.
Normative or deviant.
The behavior of the majority is normative, while that of the minority is deviant.
She also wouldn’t agree with me that homsexuality is a disability, as in mental disability.
Liberal have problems with logic, as it undermines most of their wishes.
“Note that he is talking about the condition here, not the sinful acts that are the fruit of that condition.”
There is no need to speak in any other way, as we all fail when it comes to our sinful acts as the fruit of our various individual conditions.
We err when we consider ourselves superior to other sinners. Thinking that way puts us in great peril, and study of the Seven Deadly Sins applies here.
I thought Cardinals had to ‘retire’ at @ 75 not be newly appointed in their 80s?
The militant homos will be all over him about that.
Homosexuality is a SIN corrected by making the proper choice not to engage in said sin.
It's a sin. He needs to become more familiar with the Bible that the Catholic church claims to have written.
