DUBLIN, March 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) -Â Irish Senator David Norris, the first openly homosexual politician elected in Ireland, has compared Pope Benedict XVI to Hitler for the Catholic Church’s stand against homosexuality.Â
Speaking of the Pope, Norris said he would refuse to take “moral instructions from a man with a swastika on his arms.” The reference is an apparent allusion to the forced involvement of Joseph Ratzinger as a youth with the Hitler youth. (see info on this here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/apr/05041906.html )
The Senator who is actively anti-Catholic and according to some reports has been identified as taking part in the controversial anti-Catholic Orange marches, refused to back down from his comments. He said that the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality are “in line with the prejudices that included Hitler and Himmler”.Â
Those teachings, whichÂadhere toÂtraditional Christian moral teachings from the time of Christ,Âdetermine homosexual acts as “acts of grave depravity” and the homosexual inclination as “objectively disordered”.
