It isn’t every day that a prince of the Roman Catholic Church, and a strategic Jesuit ally of the pope, openly rejects centuries of Christian teachings that clash with core doctrines of the Sexual Revolution.

“The Church’s positions on homosexual relationships as sinful are wrong,” said Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich of Luxembourg, in a recent interview with KDA, a German Catholic news agency. “I believe that the sociological and scientific foundation of this doctrine is no longer correct. It is time for a fundamental revision of Church teaching, and the way in which Pope Francis has spoken of homosexuality could lead to a change in doctrine. …

“In our archdiocese, in Luxembourg, no one is fired for being homosexual, or divorced and remarried. I can’t toss them out, they would become unemployed, and how can such a thing be Christian? As for homosexual priests, there are many of these, and it would be good if they could talk about this with their bishop without his condemning them.”

The latest unorthodox proclamations by Cardinal Hollerich commanded attention because he leads the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union, as well as being the pope’s choice as “relator general” for the October 2023 global Synod of Bishops, helping shape its work to weigh the church’s future.

Cardinal Hollerich: Church teaching on gay sex is ‘false’ and can be changed

PAT SAYS

The traditional Roman Catholic teachings on sexual morality are flat earth teachings.

Even if certain things have been taught for centuries it does not make them automatically true.

Remember for most of the last two thousand years the Church firmly taught that the earth was flat – and they bullied and tortured Galileo because he dared to say differently.

Knowledge is not a one off never changing phenomenon.

By its very nature knowledge is evolving.

The more we learn the more able we are to judge past beliefs and current issues.

How could masturbation, a perfectly normal act for man and many other species be a mortal sin that damns you to Hell for all eternity?

How could condoms be sinful when they stop unwanted pregnancies and the spread of STDs?

How can the physical expression of love between two people be a sin?

I agree with Hollerich.

The RCC’s views and teaching on human sexuality are clearly outdated, and in many respects cruel and dangerous.
