Trans People Are Causing the Death of God, Says Cardinal at DC Prayer Breakfast

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/05/21/trans-people-are-causing-the-death-of-god-says-cardinal-at-dc-prayer-breakfast/

A senior Catholic cardinal said during the 12th Annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on Tuesday that transgender people are “demonic” and are causing the “death of God.”

Cardinal Robert Sarah, who holds the title of Prefect of the Cong Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, addressed lawmakers at the annual DC National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, according (to) Pink News.

“The death of God results in the burial of good, beauty, love and truth. Good becomes evil, beauty is ugly, love becomes the satisfaction of sexual primal instincts, and truths are all relative,” Sarah said. “So all manner of immorality is not only accepted and tolerated today in advanced societies, but even promoted as a social good. The result is hostility to Christians, and, increasingly…

Get ready:
… religious persecution. Nowhere is this clearer than in the threat that societies are visiting on the family through a demonic gender ideology, a deadly impulse that is being experienced in a world increasingly cut off from God through ideological colonialism.”


Silly cardinal. Only Nietzsche can cause the death of God.

Why the hell do we have a semi-sanctioned National Prayer Breakfast where every politician willingly, or is compelled to, hang uncritically with the believer tribe?

And by being there politicians tacitly agree that such idiocy holds some merit.

please separate church and state for the sake of the country.

And here I thought only catholic priests who assault his children can cause the death of God.

Learn something new every day.

If your theology causes you to despise the oppressed and the persecuted, you're doing it wrong.
