Damn!! I never knew that I was spontaneously gay and failed to grow out of it because of some sort of instructional shortcomings. Or at least that's the storyline of obviously delusional Brazilian Archbishop Dadeus Grings as explained to Brazilian newspaper O Globo. The lunacy of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy continues to reveal itself more and more with each passing day. What drugs are these guys on? Are they trying to drive all rational, educated people from the Church with such idiocy? Here are highlights of this latest bigot eruption in Brazil:*
A Brazilian archbishop said adolescents are "spontaneously homosexual" and in need of guidance, while society at large is pedophile, according to a Wednesday report.
*
Archbishop Dadeus Grings — a conservative priest who has made controversial statements in the past — told the O Globo newspaper at a Brazilian bishops conference that society's woes are being reflected in the sex abuse scandal enveloping the Roman Catholic Church. "Society today is pedophile, that is the problem. So, people easily fall into it.
*
The comments come as the church is under fire for a sex abuse scandal touching all corners of the globe — and three weeks after Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the No. 2 official at the Vatican, said at a news conference in Chile that the sex scandals were linked to homosexuality and not celibacy among priests.
*
Grings denounced the abuse within the church, but he said internal punishment of priests guilty of abuse was sufficient and that police should not be involved. "For the church to go and accuse its own sons would be a little strange," he said.
*
The archbishop also said it was important to help children avoid homosexuality. "We know that the adolescent is spontaneously homosexual. Boys play with boys, girls play with girls," he said. "If there is no proper guidance, this sticks. The question is — how are we going to educate our children to use a sexuality that is human and suitable?" Grings also said the acceptance of homosexuality in society could pave the way for the acceptance of pedophilia.
*
The archbishop has made controversial comments in the past. In 2003, he argued that only 1 million Jews died in the Holocaust, though a few years later he recanted. Experts say 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust. Last year, he outraged Jewish groups in Brazil by telling a magazine that "more Catholics than Jews died in the Holocaust, but this isn't known because the Jews control the world's media."
*
Again I ask, why does anyone listen to anyone so obviously unhinged and anything but a "man of God?"

WTF?
Soooo not only are we "spontaneously homosexual" but our sexuality is not "human and suitable"?
Uhm, will all due respect to the Bishop, but fuck you and the cross you rode in on.
And I love the "we're not child rapists, it's society that's the problem" line. Society today is pedophile...no sweetie, you are and history tells us that you have been since about 390 B.C.E.
