Italy's Giusto Catania (pic'd here), launched an attack on the Catholic Church from the floor of the European Parliament Wednesday.Catania, a Member of the European Parliament, joined in a debate on homophobia to say that the European governing body must stop intolerance.
"We cannot allow these signs of intolerance," said Catania, "we cannot allow such statements to be made as made by the Polish Minister."
Those statements he referred to were those of Polish Education Minister Roman Giertych, who has proposed legislation to forbid promotion of homosexuality in schools.
"One must limit homosexual propaganda so that children won't have an improper view of family," said Giertych.Catania said that the necessity to stop such intolerance "is true for politics but also for the Clergy and the Church."
Despite the fact that the Catholic Church officially teaches it sinful to hate anyone, enemy or friend, sinner or saint, Catania claimed the Church hates homosexuals.
Catania said the Clergy and the Church, "never miss an opportunity to express their hatred of homosexuals and they harass these people and regard them as sinners."
