Vatican Official Dismisses EU Concerns On "Homophobia"
Rome, Jan. 23 (CWNews.com) - The president of the Pontifical Council for the Family has reacted strongly against a statement by the European Parliament demanding that member-states ensure equal rights for homosexuals.
Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo argued that it is absurd and dangerous to suggest that a government is "homophobic" if it declines to give homosexual couples the same rights as heterosexual married couples. The approach taken by the European Parliament, he said, "does not take into account the way man is naturally made."
In today's political battles, the cardinal said, what is at stake is "respect for the truth about man before God: his psychological structure, his sexuality, the complementarity that naturally exists between man and woman." These realities, he continued, are being attacked on the basis of "an ideology that seeks to impose sexual identity as a fact that is not natural, but as something that one can choose."
