Let me freely reformulate the prelates words, but in another context, say, a taboo free discussion with SS murderers at Auschwitz. What does "without taboo" mean? A "taboo" is an act whose evil is so intrinsically terrible (sinful) that one simple avoids it. O.k, Nunzi Galatino arrranges a taboo free discusion about the race improvement policies of the Nazis and carried out by the SS. To have such a talk, the Nunzio would have to disregard the moral status of mass murder for, well, it is for the good of the "superior" race, no? In short, a tabooless discussion of homosexuality implies excluding consideration of its status re sin.
I can imagine the Nunzio scolding those sour-faced faithul rosary praying Cathoics standing in front of one of those ovens used to burn murdered Jews as, well, not having a happy-go-lucky view of life and who prefer serious demonstrating to having fun. I deduce what our Nunzio would seek out, namely the fun-guys of the Wehrmacht and whoop it up with some good old fashion German beer.
In my opinion, Nunzio Galantino should be removed from his position, severly disciplined and sent oft to a monastery in deepest Siberia to pray for forgiveness. He is a scandal for me! But worse is the fact that Pope Francis has appointed the prelate to an important position. Does this imply that the attitude and judgments of the Nunzio, a prelate appointed by the Pope, are shared by Pp. Francis or at least acceptable enough for the subject matter of serious value-free discussion? If this is the case, then Pope Francis is not only a scandal for me, but, as Pope and head of the magisterium, he is a threat to my ability to remain in the same ecclesiatical "outfit" as him. This is no joke, not amusing, rather horrifying to me. I am stunned!
