Catholic Editor Attacks Tutu

A Catholic journo has attacked Archbishop Desmond Tutu after the renowned cleric said he would not want to go to a ‘homophobic heaven’.
The Archbishop, who said he was as passionate about tackling homophobia as he is about apartheid, came under attack in a Catholic website article for confusing opposition to attacks on ‘gays’ with ‘wholesale endorsement of homosexuality’.
Carl E. Olson also states: “King Henry VIII left the Catholic Church in order to divorce and fornicate. Desmond Tutu is apparently willing to abandon theism altogether in order to support and promote homosexuality”.
Olson goes on to suggest that the countries that outlaw homosexual acts to the extent of making them a capital offence are overwhelmingly Muslim nations, some of which enjoy the support of Barack Obama.
Olson is editor of The Catholic World Report, in which his article appears.
