A Bishop Corrects Francis' Homosexual Exaggerations
Francis' statement about homosexuality in the Church is an example of his "spontaneity" that can sometimes "play tricks on him", Bishop José Luis Retana of Salamanca, Spain, told LaGacetaDeSalamanca.es (29 May).
"I believe that he cannot make the statement in this way," Mgr Retana clarified: "It can happen that a person who takes refuge in his homosexuality can enter a seminary. In my 15 years as rector of the seminary, this has only happened to one person".
A situation of homosexual seminarians is "not usual", said the former rector of a seminary: "It cannot be said that the seminaries are full of homosexuals, at least I cannot confirm that."
Perhaps Francis based his statement on his experience with the Argentinean Jesuits. The Jesuits are one of the most decadent religious communities in the Church.
