After Rosa Lëtzebuerg criticised the words of Auxiliary Bishop Leo Wagner in an open letter to Cardinal Hollerich, there was now an informal meeting between representatives of the Rosa Lëtzebuerg Board of Directors and Cardinal Hollerich.

It was an open and friendly conversation, which leaves room for cooperation on various points. We will communicate more details together with the Cardinal in due course.

Although there are still different views on marriage, we are pleased with the promise that the Catholic Church in Luxembourg will not sanction priests who wish to bless same-sex couples. Furthermore, we welcome the Cardinal’s statement, which he also repeated in a radio interview, that he accepts homosexual people because he believes that “God created them that way”.
