Cardinal Hollerich appeared to describe homosexuality as a 'fruit of creation' and admitted that there are a disproportionate number of homosexuals in Church institutions.
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the relator general of the Synod on Synodality, has called for a “change of cultural paradigm” regarding the Church’s condemnation of homosexual activity and said that there is a “higher” percentage of homosexuals in “Church institutions” than in civil society.

If it doesn't mean today what it meant in 1st century Jerusalem then its wrong.
Another heretic cardinal.
It is obvious that God had a plan creating man and woman.
The trans faggot homo globo drag perverted culture war is an assault on God almighty, led by bozos such as this twerp cardinal.
The faggot priests want to come out.
Nothing here now is the fruit of creation. The entire creation fell with Adam.
While there is zero evidence homosexual behavior is inborn, my question is, what difference does it make?
Why do people buy the argument that if something is natural, it must be good?
My guess is they don't understand that the fall corrupted absolutely everything
