In the Christian West, homosexuality traditionally has been
viewed as a sin. This breeds a kind of religious homophobia
that cannot be dealt with by simple worldly tools. The
Vatican’s homophobia goes to such an extent that, as pointed
out earlier, it once stated that the world had to be saved from
homosexuality, just as its rain forests needed to be saved:
failure to save the world from either the one or the other
would lead to its destruction. A sin must be atoned for, or
expiated, without which the sinner remains guilty for life, and
upon death goes to hell. This is how the culture of the West
becomes a ‘guilt culture’. The orthodox are shocked by the fact
that the world has become so ‘degenerate’ today that it argues
for same-sex marriage and upholds homosexuality even in
its most perverse forms. – R. Raj Rao
