Homosexuals are ill - H.H.Alexii II


Homosexuals are like kleptomaniacs and have an illness, the head of Russia's Orthodox Church said yesterday.

Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and all Russia told MPs at the Council of Europe that civilisation was threatened by a split between Christian morality and human rights, which were being used to excuse declining moral standards."We can see it in a new generation of rights that contradict morality, and in how human rights are used to justify immoral behaviour," he told a meeting of the council's Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg. Earlier this year, Alexy II banned a gay rights parade through Moscow.

He said that sinners could be accepted despite their sins, but ignoring the moral teachings of the Bible threatened Europe's standing in the world. But the patriarch insisted that no state power should interfere with an individual's personal life. "After all, being moral or immoral is a matter of free personal choice.
