Dublin archbishop: Homophobic = Godophobic

Diarmuid Martin spoke out against homophobia following two high profile incidents in Ireland over the last month, including prejudice directed at a politician because of his sexuality.

According to the Irish Independent, the Archbishop said: “God never created anybody that he doesn’t love. Anybody who doesn’t show love towards gay and lesbian people is insulting God.

“They are not just homophobic if they do that – they are actually Godophobic because God loves every one of those people.

“Certainly the sort of actions that we heard of this week of people being spat at because they were gay or ridiculed . . . that is not a Christian attitude. We have to have the courage to stand up and say that,” he added.
