Cardinal Zen: 'LGBTQ sins completely violate the Creator’s plan for humanity,' wrote the 94-year-old cardinal.
Cardinal Joseph Zen has forcefully denounced homosexual acts, reminding the faithful that “the merciful God also rained down fire to destroy Sodom.”
The cardinal’s remarks on what he termed “LGBTQ sins” came in a Monday blog post.
“Of course, ethics and morality are not limited to the Sixth and Ninth Commandments, but sins of this kind are the most addictive. In particular, LGBTQ sins completely violate the Creator’s plan for humanity: for a man and a woman to love one another for life and to pass on life in a loving environment,” Zen wrote.
“Homosexual acts are not only called sin in the Bible but are also an ‘abomination’ in the sight of God. The merciful God also rained down fire to destroy Sodom.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
