SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, March 1, 2005 (CWNews.com/LifeSiteNews.com) - Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, reaffirmed this week that the Church does not discriminate against homosexuals, but that they do not belong in seminaries.
The cardinal explained, "I understand we must have a healthy, intelligent, and manly clergy that is neither effeminate nor womanly," and he recalled that homosexuality is a disorder that can be corrected and managed.
Likewise the cardinal also emphasized the need to form "serious men with all of the attributes that God has given them so that they may exercise their ministry with dignity."
