GAYLES.TV.- Out of the closet with cassock and collar, nothing more or less that is what has had the courage to do in a press conference this polish of 43 years of name Krzysztof Charamsa, official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, (yes, yes, the old Holy Office!). By more details, assistant secretary of the Vatican's International Theological Commission and professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he lives d
is 17 years ago
And she has done it with her boyfriend, the Catalan Eduard Planas, on the eve of the inauguration of the Synod of Bishops on the Family. Of papal infarction and cardinal, come on. Not in his worst nightmares Pope Francis and the Vatican hierarchy could imagine a headline like this heading the rotatives around the world "Vatican prelate declares his homosexuality". But probably the hardest thing to swallow must have been the statements made by Charamsa at a press conference: "I want the Church and my community to know who I am, a homosexual priest, happy and proud of his own identity. I am willing to pay the consequences, but it is time for the Church to open its eyes to the Gais believers and understand that the solution it proposes for them, the total abstinence from the life of love, is inhuman.
It is surprising how quickly the Church, so slow in its processes, has reacted on this occasion by ceaselessly stopping Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa. Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman has declared that "he will not be able to continue carrying out the previous tasks in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or in the pontifical universities", criticizing also the chosen moment to declare his homosexuality: "the election to declare something so resounding on the eve of the The opening of the Synod is very serious and not responsible, since it aims to subject the synodal assembly to unjustified media pressure. "
Charamsa has recognized the intentionality of the date of the announcement saying: "I would like to say to the Synod that homosexual love is a family love, that it needs the family. Each person, also the gays, the lesbians or the transsexual, carries in the heart a desire of love and familiarity. Every person has the right to love and that love must be protected by society, by laws. But above all, it must be taken care of by the Church. "
The so far prelate has added that the only thing for which he considers that he should ask for forgiveness is for the years of silence before the "paranoia, homophobia, hatred and rejection of the homosexuals that I have lived in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is the heart of homophobia in the Church. "
Definitely things are changing and very fast in those estates that seemed more immovable. Congratulations and thanks to Krzysztof Charamsa and Eduard Planas for pointing the way to so many priests who are silent about their homosexuality.
