Calling the proposed legislation “lamentable” in an interview on Chile ’s Radio Bío Bío , the cardinal called on homosexuals to “avoid contact with homosexual people,” because “we know how that can end up,” and observed, “It’s an effort, but the whole Christian life requires an effort.” “Science has not yet clarified the origins of homosexual tendencies,” Medina noted. “A person can have them, but live in conformity with morality, that is, not live with a partner, not get carried away by the very strong impulse of homosexuality.” The cardinal called homosexual unions “unacceptable” and noted that “ Saint Paul says that those who participate in sodomy will not see the kingdom of God. Nothing stronger than that can be said.” Medina al
