What does being materialistic has to do with tolerating and accepting gay people?
The Catholic position is that physical life (and therefore the material pleasures of life) are sinful, as they lead us away from the ultimate purpose - which is to die and be with God.
The Cardinal likely believes that LGBT issues are about sex (and not love) - something a Cardinal is supposed to give up in order to be holy. Therefore, anything to do with sex is materialistic.
As for nihilistic - I presume he believes that LGBT people are atheists who believe their souls will get destroyed at death, making life meaningless (except for all that great LGBT sex).
