The first Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBT people was speaking during a visit to the Vatican.
The Synod report claimed that it was “totally unacceptable in every case” when “international organisations attach conditions to financial aid to poor countries with the introduction of laws establishing marriage between persons of the same sex.”
When Berry was asked if this was the case, he answered “It is not. Period. Full stop,
“In the case of Uganda, for example, my government did suspend certain types of aid. That was the process of a very careful review about the types of assistance that would have gone into strengthening the mechanisms that would have allowed the state to prosecute people based on this awful law [the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act], which the Church also opposed.
“the notion that aid was given on the basis of civil unions is completely false.”
Unlike the Catholic church which routinely denies aid to gay people, fires homosexual teachers and support staff and of course lets not forget adoption agencies and other services the church only provides to those it doesn't consider to be "intrinsically disordered".
BTW, didn't Jesus say something about hypocrites?
