Father Dariusz Oko on gay Fr. Charamsa: "in his pride"
Question (Boguslaw Rąpała): Fr. Krzysztof Charamsa has publicly announced that he is gay. And it is you, Reverend Father Professor that are the target of his sharpest attack? How do you, Father, react to this?
Answer (Fr. Dariusz Oko): After the attack on me, which was launched on Wednesday (in Tygodnik Powszechny - a liberal Catholic newspaper ed. Barona), I thought that he was gay and it was confirmed. I warned that he could end up like Fr. Węcławski, or Fr. Czajkowski and it also came true. One can see that he feels towards me a terrible hatred and he is living what he is implying against me. But as a Christian I forgive him, I pray for him; I invite him to lectures and seminars. I can see in him personality disorders, and that he needs help. If he needs a psychiatrist or psychologist, I know a few of them, and can even have his treatment covered.
Q: What does "coming out" mean in the case of a priest?
A: After the speech, one could see in Fr. Charamsa a disturbed, immature and selfish personality. It is something terrible, that he puts gay sex above God, so to speak. Even if he had these problems, such tendencies, he is still a priest there to serve the people for the most important thing; that is, to get to Heaven. For a priest this is the most important task, to which he must sacrifice everything.
