According to the UK Guardian, the Pope’s newest bishop, Gerhard Maria Wagner has made some very troubling remarks regarding Hurricane Katrina.
He said it was worth considering whether environmental catastrophes should not be seen as a result of “spiritual environmental pollution” – a type of “divine retribution” for New Orleans’ relaxed attitude towards sexual promiscuity and homosexuality.
“It is surely not an accident that all five of New Orleans’ abortion clinics, as well as nightclubs were destroyed,” he wrote, adding: “It’s not just any old city that has gone under, but the people’s dream city with the ‘best brothels and the most beautiful whores’.”
