What does this cardinal mean by "materialistic" when he says “influenced by this LGBT and woke ideology, which is materialistic and nihilistic”?
What does being materialistic has to do with tolerating and accepting gay people?
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"

If one can't dazzle with brilliance...they're just throwing words, afaict.

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).

It has been argued that it makes sense for a believer to kill themselves while they are in a forgiven state, than to wait for natural death when they may have some unforgiven mortal sin.
That's why the Catholic church had to make suicide a mortal sin, closing this loophole.

The International Association of Exorcists is concerned a forthcoming Hollywood movie with Russell Crowe may distort lies they have been telling people about their professional efforts to cast spells that inhibit disembodied monsters from parasitically overtaking humans to enact Satan's will.
Quote:“This way of narrating Don Amorth’s experience as an exorcist, in addition to being contrary to historical reality, distorts and falsifies what is truly lived and experienced during the exorcism of truly possessed people,” said the association, which claims more than 800 exorcist members and more than 120 auxiliary members worldwide.
“In addition, it is offensive with regard to the state of suffering in which those who are victims of an extraordinary action of the devil find themselves,” the group’s statement added. The statement responded to the release of the movie trailer and promised a more in-depth response to the film’s April 14 theatrical release.

Exorcism of the RCC off the planet may lead to something worse...as if.

Hypocrisy News - Pope Turns to Medical Science to Delay His Meeting with God
If anyone should be looking forward to the next life where he will spend eternity with God, according to the teachings of the church he heads, it's Pope Francis.
And yet we see him tonight in Hospital desperately trying to put off that day as long as possible. Like so many evangelicals preachers who told us we could look forward to a blissful after-life if only we obeyed all the rules, paid the tythes and did what they told us, Pope Francis is in hospital in Rome where medical science will be used to delay his meeting with God as long as possible.
Prayer having failed to cure his chest infection, or at least been recognised as ineffective, the pontiff has turned to science for help.
Having supposedly been chosen personally by God, who inspired the cardinals in conclave to vote for him, to be his personal representative and mouthpiece on Earth, like all his predecessors, Pope Francis should be confident of his place in Heaven.
