'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.”

The Catholic Church, following the path of Protestant denominations, is slowly but surely destroying itself from within.

[Its All Over Except ...]

So they found scriptures in the Old Testament where God condoned men with men and women with women declaring it was acceptable in His eyes and they found scriptures in the New Testament where Jesus condoned it?

I won’t hold my breath because said scriptures don’t exist.
