[Catholic Caucus] German bishop: Homosexual ‘attraction’ and ‘lovemaking’ not an ‘aberration’

'We cannot give homosexual people the answer that their feelings are unnatural and that they must therefore live celibate lives. As a Church, we have to answer these questions in a new way,' said Bishop Helmut Dieser.

(LifeSiteNews) — A German bishop has declared that sexual diversity is “willed by God and does not violate the Creator’s will,” and that “homosexual lovemaking” is not an aberration but a “variant of human sexuality.” 

Helmut Dieser, the bishop of the diocese of Aachen and the head of the Forum for Sexuality and Partnership for the Synodal Way, is known for his heterodox views on sexuality. He made his latest scandalous comments in an interview with the German news outlet Deutsche Welle, published November 8.  

The German prelate said that the “current state of Church teaching does not do justice to certain realities in the area of human sexuality.” Dieser called the Church’s teaching on sexuality “too simplified.” 

“This applies, for example, to the question of homosexuality,” Dieser continued. “We cannot give homosexual people the answer that their feelings are unnatural and that they must therefore live celibate lives. As a Church, we have to answer these questions in a new way.” 

The German prelate claimed that “the science” would show that homosexuality is “not a mishap, not a disease, not an expression of a deficit, nor, by the way, a consequence of original sin.”

Furthermore, the German prelate said that the German bishops want to ask Pope Francis to change the catechism on this matter, as the heterodox Synodal Way has called for.

[G Larry]

hm.. No sinners in your “perfect” religion?

[G Larry]

Is the Bishop confused about the Scriptural meaning of “against its natural use”?

[G Larry]

Are you unfamiliar with FR rules regarding commenting on [Catholic Caucus] threads?

[Campion]

Like saying you should go AWOL from the Army because some of the officers are traitors and defeatists. Yeah, it doesn’t work that way.

[bella1]

If the officer becomes the enemy, then yes.

This is why the Catholic Church has lost its moral authority among decent, rational people. Even though there are age old moral values at the core of the theology it purports to have, the actions, disposition and homosexuality of many of its priests, religious orders such as the Jesuits and hierarchy have destroyed its credibility for many.

The German prelate claimed that “the science” would show that homosexuality is “not a mishap, not a disease, not an expression of a deficit, nor, by the way, a consequence of original sin.”

The "science" would likewise show that the Holy Eucharist is nothing more than a wheat wafer.

In other words: What the bishop does not seem to understand is that religion is about faith and doctrine.

This bishop should be expelled from the Church before he does any more harm!

We cannot give homosexual people the answer that their feelings are unnatural

Why not? Their "feelings" ARE unnatural. Truth is truth.

Catholic Caucus is delivering us to the Wrath of God.

He’s right. The word is “abomination”.
