Man of a cruel cloth

reporting:
The Bishop of Elphin, Kevin Doran, made the claim to NewsTalk Breakfast radio this morning, ahead of the Spring Meeting of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
When questioned as to whether he believed being born gay was as God intended Doran responded: “That would be to suggest that if some people are born with Down’s syndrome or Spina Bifida, that that was what God intended either.”
This is offensive on so many levels I may have to lie down. Bishop Kev doubled down:
When asked whether he believed gay couples have the right to marriage he responded: “Everyone above a certain age has the right to marry but I can’t marry my mother and I can’t marry my sister, and by the same token, I can’t marry someone of the same sex. [...]
Speaking in response to the host’s suggestion that gay men and women throughout Ireland are already parents, he claimed: “But they’re not parents.”
Bishop Kevin Doran: Loves a God that keeps on creating people he hates.
