In sweeping critique, Vatican Synod father attacks Humanae Vitae—and even the notion of natural law
ANALYSIS
ANTWERP, Belgium, September 11, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- In a sweeping critique of Catholic teaching, Belgian Bishop Johan Bonny, who will participate in the Ordinary Synod on the Family next month, has attacked not only the Church’s teaching against contraception but even the very notion of the natural law.
In a contribution for the recent German book, Zerreißprobe Ehe, published by Herder Verlag, the bishop of Antwerp makes a strong critique of the 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae and questions the Church's understanding of sexuality. He also criticizes the natural law as a moral foundation because it describes certain acts as good or bad independently of one's personal life history and biography.
Bonny claims in his essay, which is entitled "The Synod of Bishops on the Family - Expectations of a Diocesan Bishop," that the encyclical Humanae Vitae lacked the consensus of the bishops and therefore immediately caused "tensions, conflicts and breaches.” He regrets that the Church does not give more space for "the individual conscience" of the faithful with regard to the question of "methods of family planning and birth control," and says he hopes that the upcoming 2015 Synod of Bishops on the Family will correct this purported defect.
"This ecclesial policy has left behind a broad trace of tensions, conflicts and breaches. This split should not remain such."
Bishop Bonny also discusses in his article the question of homosexuality and the Church’s traditional rejection of homosexual acts. According to Bonny, "scientific progress allows us to modify this point of view. First of all, one knows that homosexuality exists also in the world of animals." With his reference to the animal world, Bonny tries to show that the natural instinct for heterosexuality, as put into nature by God, might not exist, after all.
Bonny also argues that "in our personalistic culture, the interdiction of homosexual relationships is regarded as an unacceptable discrimination: there shall be men and women who do not have the right to live out their sexuality, only because they do not live in the same manner as the great majority of the people live!"
Finally, Bonny claims the "externally induced suppression of the sexual practice" is the cause of ailments such as alcoholism, aggressivity and drug abuse.

The easiest method available to determine the mendacity of the homosexualists is to discover if they subscribe to the hilarious (and roundly debunked) notion that there is homosexuality in the animal kingdom. That anyone would spout such things is, I would say, a pretty sure way of determining the particular sin with which said person is the most fond. (Recall the howler about the "lesbian elephants")
Ergo, we may conclude that Bishop Bonny, if he actually entertains such nonsense, is, if not in fact a homosexual himself, certainly supportive of their mortal sins.
"externally induced suppression of the sexual practice" is the cause of ailments such as alcoholism, aggressivity and drug abuse.
Blacks in the US are not suffering from "externally induced suppression of the sexual practice" as the government's National Institute of Health statistically verifies. The 'NIH' also shows that alcoholism, aggressivity, drug abuse, crime, murder, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are rampant in their
culture. Most things that liberals like Bonny claim, usually don't pass a simple smell test.
Isn't rape pretty widespread in the animal kingdom? Less common but still existing are cannibalistic sexual practices, where the female (are we even allowed to say that any more in the case of animals?) will eat the male after the mating ritual.
Does that make it all okay for people too?
This bishop is too stupid to truly understand the vows he was making when he was ordained. We need annulments for priestly ordinations.
