Jesuit Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, head of the pan-European Catholic bishops conference, is calling for a change to the age old teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality.
“I believe that the sociological-scientific foundation of this teaching is no longer correct.”, said the cardinal, who has supported the language used by Pope Francis when discussing the problem of homosexuality, and hopes this language may lead to a change in doctrine.
This outright defiance of Church doctrine comes in response to 125 Catholic Church employees in Germany who have came out as “queer” and want to “live openly without fear.” in the Church.
