Bishop Robinson told BBC News:

The "Sin of Sodom" had nothing to do with homosexual sex but was a "failure to care for the poor, the widows and the orphans", he said.

Oh really?

Cafeteria Christianity at it's best.

Pick and choose what you like, pretend the rest doesn't exist. To these people there are no sins but social ones. People don't personally sin. There is no kind of sexuality that's deviant, there's no such thing as vice, just "personal lifestyle choices".

The more squishies this guy recruits from the Catholic Church, the stronger the Catholic Church will get.

Funny, I've never seen it written that way in any Old Testament I've ever read. He must have a Deluxe Homosexual Translation of the Bible.

Wow, that lack of caring for the poor, widows & orphans in Sodom is not in the Bible that I read. Maybe if I bought the GIV (Gay International Version) instead of reading the NIV, I might find it.
