Before the consecration, Viganò - then the delegate for Pontifical Representations - asked Berlin Nuncio Giovanni Lajolo routinely for information about Clemens. Lajolo replied that there were strong suspicions that Clemens was an active homosexual and it was advised against making him a bishop.
Viganò says that Ratzinger wanted the promotion despite knowing about this. When Ratzinger exchanged Clemens with Gänswein in 2003, there was “quite a fight" between the two, Viganò recalls.
LifeSiteNews.com refers to "anonymous sources" stating that Ratzinger turned to Cologne Cardinal Meisner (+2017) asking him to take Clemens into his diocese but Meisner allegedly answered …More

Het Rooms Katholieke geloof heeft als basis, wie ben ik en waarom ben ik hier op aarde en de Tien Geboden, beiden laten geen ruimte voor homoseksualiteit en zeker niet voor priesters. Conclusie, de organisatie van de Rooms Katholieke kerk is een grote club van homoseksuele en daarom moest tijdens het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof worden afgeschaft. …More

Conclusie, de organisatie van de Rooms Katholieke kerk is een grote club van homoseksuele en daarom moest tijdens het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie het Universele Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof worden afgeschaft.

The title "Archbishop" effectively serves as immunity from the libel-lawsuits that would hound anyone else making such noise.
How can these clergy live a lie like that ,where the life they represent which it should be a life of chastity a life of a true apostle ,its not the life they live, behind close doors ,how many people trusted this bishop with their personal life's now they feel betrayed ,it's a shame a disgrace

Seneca: The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution; who resists to sorest temptation from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menaces and frowns; whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God is most unfaltering.

I hope that he is not saying that because he is a moral theologian and that he knows the Church’s teaching on homosexuality, that he therefore follows it. There is quite a difference between knowing the good and doing the good, as any good moral theologian will attest.
