The consequences of the earthquake in Central Italy
Italy has incurred the wrath of God because of “insulting the institution of the family and the sanctity of marriage, especially civil unions”. This opinion was expressed by the priest Giovanni Cavalcanti in an interview with radio station “Maria”.
“…You talked about the legislation, which is contrary to our religion. Even the laws on civil unions create a lot of problems for us as believers. State laws can sometimes be unfair, but we should not use it, because if we take this opportunity, we sin, perhaps fatally,” said Cavalcanti.
So the Minister answered the question about whether able adopted in may 2016 in Italy the law on the legalization of civil same-sex marriage to be in varying degrees, cause a series of earthquakes on the Peninsula.
He expressed confidence that all natural disasters are “theological character”. “From a theological point of view, these disasters are the consequence of original sin, and you can considered as a punishment for original sin — even if it’s a word you don’t like” — says Cavalcanti.
Radio station “Maria”, which published an interview with Cavalcanti, brought his audience an apology, stating that he considers the views of the priest on the nature of earthquakes was unacceptable and immediately breaks a contract with him for a monthly transfer.
The Vatican criticized the words of the Catholic theologian, calling his views “pagan” and “Christian”, reports “Russian service Bi-bi-si”. In June of this year, Pope Francis said that the Church has no right to judge gay people and should treat them with respect.
