The story is here:
Homosexuals and transsexuals "will never enter the kingdom of heaven", a leading Roman Catholic cardinal said.
Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan said that while the Church regarded homosexuality as an "insult to God", this did not justify discrimination against gay and transsexual people.
"Transsexuals and homosexuals will never enter the kingdom of heaven and it is not me who says this, but Saint Paul," the cardinal said, in comments reported by the Ansa news agency.
"People are not born homosexual, they become homosexual, for different reasons: education issues or because they did not develop their own identity during adolescence. It may not be their fault, but acting against nature and the dignity of the human body is an insult to God," he said.
And the rewrite for bias recognition is:
Catholics "will never enter the kingdom of heaven", an atheist blogger recently said. She added that this was because she did not actually think there was a heaven, and that this was by no means a value judgement.
Vixen Strangely said that while the Church regarded homosexuality as an "insult to God", this did not justify discrimination against gay and transsexual people, but also elaborated that the Church in fact, did discriminate against gay and transsexual people.
"Transsexuals and homosexuals will never enter the Catholic version of kingdom of heaven and it is not me who says this, but Saint Paul, and Catholics who repeat what Saint Paul said."
"People are not born Catholic, they become Catholic, for different reasons: education issues or because they did not develop their own identity during adolescence but rather learned Catholicism from adults committed to raising them in the faith, and leading them through the various steps of baptism, education, confirmation, and so on. It may not be their fault, but acting against nature and the dignity of human rights is an insult to reason."
(Yes, Catholic Church again. I really have no idea why this is, it just is.)
