Cardinal Raymond Burke Takes Break From Vatican Synod To Say Ugly Things About Gay Relationships

[Warren Stupidity]

Vatican court head Cardinal Raymond Burke took his opposition to gay marriage to a new low in an interview with LifeSite News on Wednesday, calling same-sex relations "intrinsically disordered" and dangerous for children to be exposed to:


"We wouldn’t, if it were another kind of relationship — something that was profoundly disordered and harmful — we wouldn't expose our children to that relationship, to the direct experience of it. And neither should we do it in the context of a family member who not only suffers from same-sex attraction, but who has chosen to live out that attraction, to act upon it, committing acts which are always and everywhere wrong, evil."



The cardinal is currently engaged in the Vatican's Synod on the Family, at which a handful of couples and families were invited to present questions and arguments to the assembled bishops as they assess the Catholic Church's stance on various family-related issues.

No misogyny or homophobia in the New Pope Church. None at all.

1. So the Vatican

considers homosexuality a mental disorder?
"suffers from same-sex attraction"
Good thing they have no influence on anybody, or so I've been told.

2. Self loathing gay. Those kinds of people

are so sad.

4. No.

He's a gay-loathing homophobe.

Perhaps unintentionally, you're buying into the DU myth that homophobes are guilt-ridden, deeply closeted gays themselves. Not true.

5. okay. nt

3. Burke is a political reactionary. I have no doubt he wishes the synod was never called.

6. Alert bait

calling same-sex relations "intrinsically disordered" and dangerous for children to be exposed to:
-
That's how I feel about religion.

8. You can't say that!

Why, the last time an atheist said that religion was dangerous for children to be exposed to he was sneered at and condemned in this group. You're not allowed to make those sorts of ugly judgements unless you're at least a Cardinal.

7. I'm really surprised this circus called "Synod on the Family" isn't getting more discussion here

Just more threads about how sexist atheists are.

9. Are you really suprised?

Rilly?

[Lordquinton]

10. As surprised as I am to find out there is gambling going on in this establishment!

[rug]

12. Given the A&A thread on it, are you really surprised?

It's actually more important than playing whack-a-mole.

There are threads on it in C&O.

11. Let's play 'Who can build a big enough trebuchet to send him back to the Vatican'.

Might need to get NASA in on this one, when they're done with the catapult big enough to launch Ted Cruz into the sun.
