PhoboQuotable – Belgium’s Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard

“When you mistreat the environment it ends up mistreating us in turn. And when you mistreat human love, perhaps it winds up taking vengeance. All I’m saying is that sometimes there are consequences linked to our actions. this epidemic is a sort of intrinsic justice.” – Belgian Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, saying that AIDS is God’s punishment for being gay. Leonard also said that seeking vengeance on pedophile priests was “inhumane,” a remark from which he later retreated.
