A Cardinal has blamed the ‘moral depravity’ of gay people on the current pedophile priest epidemic and the child abuse scandal at The Vatican.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who is the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, insists that Vatican child sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church is strongly linked to the ‘gay agenda.’
Speaking on the recent resignation of pedophile Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to LifeSite news, Müller directed the blame away from the Catholic church, pointing the finger at 'gay people' and 'gay culture.'
Müller said the ‘moral depravity of homosexual acts among adults’ and their influence.

He also noted the impact of ‘propaganda phrases of the homosexual lobby.’
The Cardinal went on to define homosexuality as a ‘disorder,' and not a sexual orientation.
"In my view, there do not exist homosexual men or even priests," Müller explained.
"God has created the human being as man and woman. But there can be men and women with disordered passions."
The cardinal then said that any sexual contact outside of marriage is an 'abuse of sexuality.'
"The sexual union has its place exclusively in the marriage between a man and a woman. Outside, there is only fornication and violation of sexuality, both either with persons of the opposite sex or in the unnatural intensification of sin with persons of the same sex."
"Only he who has learned to control himself also satisfies the moral precondition for the reception of priestly ordination."

He also suggests bringing back punishment for homosexuality.

Müller also blamed the ' elimination of penalties' in church doctrine for homosexual behavior is what has led to the current pedophile priest epidemic.
"That was a disastrous error," he said.
"Sexual contacts between persons of the same sex completely and directly oppose the sense and purpose of sexuality as grounded in creation."
The Cardinal then claimed the real agenda behind the LGBTQ movement was actually about atheism
"The LGBT ideology is based upon false anthropology which denies God as the Creator," he said.
"Since it is in principle atheistic or perhaps has only to do with a Christian concept of God at the margins, it has no place in Church documents."
In August, Neon Nettle reported that Cardinal Raymond Burke also accused the Catholic church’s 'homosexual culture' on the child abuse scandal.
"I believe that there needs to be an open recognition that we have a very grave problem of homosexual culture in the Church,” Burke said in an interview Thursday.
“Especially among the clergy and the hierarchy, that needs to be addressed honestly and efficaciously.”
