An Austrian Catholic priest banned from the pulpit for calling Islam "the worst thing ever" and gays "perverts" is free to preach again, local media reported on Thursday.
Karl Tropper from Sankt Veit am Vogau in southern Austria wrote last year in the parish magazine that homosexuality was a curable "illness" and that gays were "responsible for more than six million Aids deaths".
In an interview with the Kleine Zeitung daily in March, the 75-year-old said that homosexuality was a "perversion" and that "in 50 years Vienna will be a Muslim city. The Votivkirche [a large Vienna church] will be a mosque".
This earned Tropper, due to retire on 31 August, a ban on preaching over the Easter period that has now expired, although he is still barred from making contributions to the parish magazine, public broadcaster ORF said.
I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you,
ReplyDeleteyou have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy I came across this during my search for something regarding this.

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn't disappoint me just as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read through, but I actually thought you would probably have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you could possibly fix if you weren't too busy looking for attention.

I wish to show my appreciation to the writer just
ReplyDeletefor bailing me out of this type of issue. Right after looking
out through the world wide web and finding opinions which are
not helpful, I was thinking my life was gone.
Existing without the solutions to the difficulties you have solved
by means of your article content is a serious case, and ones that would have in
a wrong way affected my entire career if I hadn't encountered your website.
Your primary expertise and kindness in handling all the pieces was invaluable.
I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a stuff like this.
It's possible to at this point relish my future. Thanks very much for
the expert and result oriented help. I will not hesitate
to propose your web page to anyone who needs to have counselling on
this topic.
