Leave it to a Catholic leader in the Dominican Republic to turn waht was to be an interview about if political figures should disclose where they get their earnings to a diatribe about the GLBT community. Dominican Republic Cardinal Jesús López Rodríguez‘s criticism of gays wasn’t the worse of it, it was the language he used that is surprising.

According to El Nacional, the Cardinal, arguing that fidelity should be at the core of education efforts to stem pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases “explained that for those reasons the Catholic church was opposed to promiscuity between ‘heterosexuals and maricones’ because sex had to be of the moment and between a man and a woman.”

Imagine a U.S. cardinal using the word faggot to to talk about the GLBT community here. Yes, a girl who went to Catholic school all of her life I am more than aware of the church’s position on gays but he took it to another level, a level of hate and hate speech that is hardly what Jesus would do.
