Metropolitan Seraphim equated homosexuality with a psychopathological deviation that cannot be vested with family authority.
Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus of the Greek Orthodox Church stated that homosexuality – this is the pinnacle of evil that separates a person from God, Tasthyras reports.
In an interview with the Greek TV channel Sky, Metropolitan Seraphim said that homosexuality is a deviation. In his opinion, “real homosexuality does not exist, it is an act.”
Metropolitan Seraphim said that he views homosexuality “as the pinnacle of evil” because “it is a sin that deprives a person of communion with God, because it stains the body, stains the soul.”
“Psychopathological deviations do exist. And therefore, it is illogical for a legal order to appear and surround this deviation with the authority of marriage, perceived as the primary unit of life, which is the family,” the bishop emphasized.
