Head of European Bishops’ Commission Says Church Teaching on Homosexuality is ‘False,’ Demands Change

'I believe it is time for us to make a revision in the basic foundation of the teaching,' Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich said.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — The president of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community (COMECE) has voiced support for changing the Church’s teaching on homosexual acts, describing the biblical determination of sin as “false.”

Jesuit Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, who is also the Archbishop of Luxembourg and was appointed by Pope Francis as Relator General of the 2021–2023 “Synod on Synodality,” made the remarks in comments to the German Catholic news agency KNA.

Asked by reporters how he approaches the Church’s determination that homosexual acts are sinful, the cardinal responded, “I believe that this is false.” He said that “thinking further about the teaching … can lead to a change in teaching.” The supposed method of rethinking immutable Church teaching, Hollerich said, is one espoused by Pope Francis.

The Pope has made contrasting remarks on homosexuality within the Church. In 2018 the Pope affirmed that men and women with “that kind of ingrained tendency [homosexual attraction] should not be accepted into the ministry or consecrated life. The ministry or the consecrated life is not his place.”

BURN IN HELL MF!

Logically it follows then that if homosexual acts are not sinful than no sexual acts outside of a sacramental marriage are sinful. A very significant departure from church teaching.

Jesuit Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, who is also the Archbishop of Luxembourg and was appointed by Pope Francis ...

I see a problem here --- are we to believe and follow the clear texts of the BIBLE or are we to believe and follow the FEELINGS of two Jesuits???

What part of “abomination” is unclear? Satan is at work at all times and in all places.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I wonder what other teachings he considers false.

[Skywise]

BS.

It’s in the Bible you sacrilegious moron.

[imabadboy99]

Another demon in sheep’s clothing.

Despicable. I hope this heretic turns from his blasphemy.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Here we have priests and Bishops actually teaching that the Bible is false. That’s why they do not belong there.

This “cardinal” needs to be burned at the stake as well as the satanic servant that appointed him.

The Jesuit Anti-Pope is going to learn....
You want to get the attention of the Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah? Start tearing up His Church.
He died for it once.
You’ll die for it the second time.

Someone please give the bishop a Bible? He apparently has never seen one

Man o Man are these two in for a surprise.

You don't need to go to confession as your sins are already forgiven. You don't need to take communion because it is all about remembering a bunch of white guys partying in a room and keeping the servers down. Thou shalt do no murder? You know, that is tough but I don't really see it as always a no-no. And that matrimony stuff? Well, 50% of marriages fail these days so it can't be that serious.

Am I at the gates of hell, yet?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Pretty much.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

There are things in scripture that are unclear, gray areas. The fact that homosexual acts are sinful in God’s eyes is not one of them. If you deny this basic fact you are not a Christian at all.

Another practicing homosexual telling God made a big mistake....

[Hieronymus]

I can understand your reaction, but it would be more Christian to wish that he might meet a millstone with his number on it ASAP and go on a journey to the bottom of the sea.
