“There is no homophobia in the Catholic Church and it is time that all this ended”
The words spoken by Cardinal Scola in response to a European Parliament resolution which condemned “discriminatory comments” made by political and religious leaders against “homosexuals“. The resolution blamed those who “opposed homosexuals” for “fermenting hatred and violence — even if they were later withdrawn — and it asks that the hierarchies of the respective organizations condemn them as well.” An annual “International Day Against Homophobia” is being proposed which would be held every year, beginning on May 17th.
H/T to Cardinal Scola for showing moxie in his respectful defense of Church teachings on the issue of same sex attraction disorder.

There is no doctrinal homophobia in the church.
There IS however, christophobia in the world which lashes out with name-calling as seen above.
