Irish Bishop has no problem with gay unions
A senior Catholic Bishop, Dr. Willie Walsh, said he has no problem with giving civil recognition to same-sex couples in Ireland. Speaking on the tenth anniversary of his installation in the diocese of Killaloe, Walsh also stated that homosexual orientation is not sinful, but is simply a fact. But wait, there's more. He also went as far as to say that the teachings of the Catholic Church may have promoted homophobia. While not seeing full scale marriage on the radar at all, Walsh would have no difficulties with legislation to acknowledge the civil liberties and protect the partnership rights of gay couples. The Bishop's comments came during an interview on Clare FM.
