Schonborn's Interview

Schonborn's Interview by MSW.  MGB: The CDF believes in a natural order that God enforces with his divine justice, which is a sophistry designed to get out of the fact that God cannot actually be harmed by our sins, so some kind of natural order must.  It is all part of the indulgence racket.  It was necessary for them to take the line they did because the emerging view that sex is a gift from God would apply to homosexuals as well.  If they admitted that gays were born that way rather than having made a sinful choice, then they would have to admit that gay sex within a marital relationship is not immoral.  His Excellency makes progress by not going forward with the natural order equivication, but not yet far enough by admitting that gays are wonderfully made and entitled to sexual love in a fulfilled marriage.  Of course, that would have gotten him into trouble that his friend the Pope could not have gotten him out of (unless His Holiness decided to make some news of his own).  This is also one of those bridges that MSW does not seem to want to cross just yet that most Catholics already have.
