Bishop backtracks over gay incest jibe
A French archbishop who claimed gay marriage could lead to incest or polygamy partially backtracked Tuesday following a furore over comments he claims were misinterpreted.
Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, the archbishop of Lyon, said Tuesday that opposition to same-sex marriage did not make clerics anti-gay.
“They (homosexuals) are building the kingdom of heaven as much if not better than me,” he told France Info radio. “They are struggling to be faithful, to be Christians, each in their own way because we are all poor sinners”, the Local reports.
