00:00 According to the Bishop of the Laventille-based Christian Redemption Centre,
00:05 it's not the right thing.
00:08 He was speaking on the TV6 Morning Edition on Wednesday.
00:12 Love has discipline.
00:14 Love doesn't mean you love everything someone does.
00:18 Okay, so that is to me the right approach for Trinidad and Tobago on a whole, for this country, for this nation.
00:31 If we go down the way of blessing homosexual marriage, we are going down a rabbit hole, we are going down into serious confusion.
00:40 I believe it will decimate any church, the Catholic Church.
00:44 He is admonishing the powers that be not to follow this line of thinking.
00:49 The government must ask themselves that, the cabinet must ask themselves that,
00:52 the Pope, the Bishop, the priests, the pastors in this region, Trinidad and Tobago,
00:57 who don't want to speak out, will give a cone to God, every one of us, will be judged by Almighty God.
01:04 During the homily over the Christmas weekend, Roman Catholic priest Father Martin Sergiou said,
01:11 God does not discriminate and would shower his blessings on everyone who asks for it,
01:16 including the homeless, the addicts, divorced and remarried people and even members of the LGBTQ community.
01:25 But the Bishop explains it this way.
01:28 Homelessness and being physically handicapped, these are not moral equivalents when it comes to homosexuality.
01:39 There is no moral comparison.
01:42 Homosexuality is a choice.
01:45 It is a choice that goes against the will of God.
01:48 If a person, you know, you have the civil rights movement in America,
01:53 they try to, the gays try to say, well you know, the blacks have their rights.
01:57 But being black, there is no moral comparison with being black and being gay or being handicapped and being gay or being homeless.
