A key advisor to Pope Francis, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, has called for relaxation of Catholic teaching on gay sex, insisting that the Church should not ask \u201cimpossible things\u201d of homosexuals.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Pope Francis named Cardinal Hollerich \u2014 a Jesuit like himself \u2014 to his inner cabinet of advisors despite the cardinal\u2019s open rejection of central elements of Catholic moral teaching.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you condemn people who cannot love except the same sex?\u201d Hollerich asked during an interview with Glas Koncila, a Croatian Catholic weekly, published March 27. \u201cFor some of them it is possible to be chaste, but calling others to chastity seems like speaking Egyptian to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can only charge people with moral conduct they can bear in their world,\u201d the cardinal said. \u201cIf we ask impossible things of them, we will put them off.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we say everything they do is intrinsically wrong, it is like saying their life has no value,\u201d he added, apparently suggesting that gay sex is \u201ceverything they do.\u201d<\/p>\n
