Cardinal: homosexuals are persecuting christians (!!!)

[Ronja]

Great, just great...

Freedom of thought and expression is under threat from the gay rights movement, said Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, the retired archbishop of Bologna, in memoirs that are published on Thursday. And the result is that those people who disagreed with the homosexual agenda are being ostracised by society, he said.

"The ideology of homosexuality" – as often happens to ideologies when they become aggressive and end up being politically triumphant "becomes a threat to our legitimate autonomy of thought: those who do not share it risk condemnation to a kind of cultural and social marginalisation," said Cardinal Biffi.

Fortunately, to any sane person, that reads as a lot of putrid wind from an embittered old man, who never got any.

That should be in the Onion, not the Telegraph...

Their hypocrisy is so predictable, yet it never ceases to amaze me.

An old trick, but particularly illuminating in this case:

Freedom of thought and expression is under threat from the anti-racist movement, said Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, the retired archbishop of Bologna, in memoirs that are published on Thursday. And the result is that those people who disagreed with the racial equality agenda are being ostracised by society, he said.

"The ideology of racial equality" – as often happens to ideologies when they become aggressive and end up being politically triumphant "becomes a threat to our legitimate autonomy of thought: those who do not share it risk condemnation to a kind of cultural and social marginalisation," said Cardinal Biffi.

"The attacks on freedom of thought start with language," he wrote. "Those who do not resign themselves to accept 'racial equality' ... are charged with 'racial inequality'."

The cardinal asked: "Is it still permitted ... to be faithful and consistent disciples of the teaching of George Lucas ... or must we prepare ourselves for a new form of persecution, promoted by Racial equality activists, by their ideological accomplices, and even by those whose task it should be to defend the intellectual freedom of all, including Jedis?"

The remarks came as a British paediatrician lost a religious discrimination case after she was forced to step down from an adoption panel because she opposed adoptions by black couples. Dr Sheila Matthews was employed by Northamptonshire County Council.

Dev, otherwise perfect, but replace George Lucas with Jim Crow, IMO.

Oh my giddy aunt! Will you gays please stop persecuting the thought-oppressed Christians! How would you like it if they done it to you?
