Gänswein: Religion, Sexual Behavior Will "Not Matter" At Last Judgement
Whether one was homosexual or not will "not matter" at the Last Judgment, Archbishop Georg Gänswein claimed during a talk in Karlsruhe, Germany (June 4).
Gänswein is the private secretary of Benedict XVI.
According to CatholicNewsAgency.com, he compared practicing homosexuality ["homosexual partnership"] with being a nurse, saying that both are "accidental" to being a human being and are "not essential" to it [which is true].
He explained that all homosexuals, divorcees, atheists etc will be in front of God's judgment [which is also true].
Then, according to Gänswein, ones "being a human being" is decisive, "not accidental circumstances like sexual orientation, length of a partnership, worldview etc." [which is wrong].
Since all sins are accidental to the essence of the personhood and religion is a worldview ("Weltanschauung"), all sins and all religions would, according to Gänswein, be irrelevant at the Last Judgment.
