A top Vatican cardinal has called homophobia an invention and claimed that it doesn’t exist.

In a recent interview with Costanza Miriano, German Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller said that the concept of homophobia had been created by LGBTI rights advocates in an effort to dominate the minds of others.

“Homophobia simply does not exist,” he said.

“It is clearly an invention, an instrument of totalitarian domination over the minds of others.

“The homosexual movement lacks scientific arguments and therefore they have built an ideology that seeks to dominate, seeking to construct their own reality.”

The cardinal added that today many priests lack the courage to speak out against the ideologies of LGBTI rights advocates, to the point where some Catholic leaders participated in events on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

“Today some bishops do not have the courage to tell the truth and allow themselves to be intimidated,” he said.

“They do not understand that homophobia is a deception that serves to threaten the people.

“We Christians should not be afraid of threats – in the first centuries the followers of Christ were imprisoned or torn apart by beasts. Today people are torn apart by psycho-terrorism, taking advantage of their ignorance.”

It was reported earlier this week that Pope Francis recently told a young man that God made him gay and loves him as he is.

Juan Carlos Cruz spoke privately with the pope about having been abused by an official of the church in Chile when he was a child.

Cruz said they discussed his sexuality because bishops in Chile had attempted to depict him as a pervert who was lying about the abuse.

“He told me, ‘Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like this and loves you like this and I don’t care. The pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are,’” said Cruz.

  1. Typical Vatican and all those men-in-dresses of silk, satin all embossed in gold and silver shaking their burning handbags!
    The Vatican is the greatest depository of clergy who are wanted across the world for Child Sex Abuse – Sexual, Physical and Mental.
    They, along with the Anglicans have been, and persist to this day, denying any of their employees – yes, priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and other garbage are Employees of both – have been indulging in their number one pastime: Screwing , mostly, little boys but in more recent times, little girls.
    The Vatican under numerous Popes – including the current one who was greeted by the world as being the person to clean up this corrupt business – have persisted in Protecting Paedophiles.
    It is no wonder their churches are empty but they now compensate for all that lost revenue by getting into Aged Care.

  2. Explain then the nature as refusal of Communion on Pentecost Sunday of 31 May 1998 (ie. when we Australians celebrate the Boer War Memorial) and 21 June 2000 for no other reason than wearing a rainbow sash.

    Is that not homophobia and hatred perpetuated by then Archbishop George Pell?

    It was not an invention as I was there being a gay male and Jewish/Christian.

    – dolf

  3. It;s a shame that there are not more Catholics who are more like the Pope. At least the Pope gets the message that Christ gave about love.

  4. The pope is trying to tell gay folks that they’re normal. The archbishops and cardinals react predictably, just like for example they did when the pope said non-believers who live good lives will go to heaven. “What we really meant was the exact opposite.”

    Just another in a long line of archbishops and cardinals obsessed with gay sex.

    And we all know why catholic cardinals and archbishops are obsessed with gay sex.
