Lyon, France, Sep 18, 2012 (CNA/EWTN News) -
Cardinal Philippe Barbarin of Lyon said government approval of gay
“marriage” in France could pave the way for the legalization of incest
and polygamy.
The cardinal made his statements on Sept.14 after a meeting with France’s Interior Minister, Manuel Valls.
In an interview on French radio, Cardinal Barbarin said that same-sex unions constitute “a breakdown in society.”
“This will lead to unspeakable consequences. Next they will want unions
between three or four people. One day, perhaps, the prohibition against
incest will fall,” the cardinal warned.
French President Francois Hollande promised during his campaign that if
elected he would push for the legalization of homosexual marriage and
adoption by same-sex couples.
A bill that would allow such practices is currently under debate in
France and is expected to come before the Council of Ministers on Oct.
24.
“Marriage is a word that represents a wall, in order to ensure that in
the most fragile place of society, that is, in a woman who gives life to
a child, all of the stable conditions are present to ensure that this
takes place under the best of possibilities,” the cardinal said.
