::: This Wikipedia entry misrepresents Cardinal Sarah's position: "He is also a critic of... growth of LGBT rights" The term "growth of LGBT rights" is not used by Cardinal Sarah, but is projected by the editor. This misrepresentation betrays a bias that violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and amounts to slander. |

Revision as of 13:32, 2 November 2015
This Wikipedia entry is slander: "He has been outspoken on the threat posed to Christianity by ... those seeking equal rights for those that are gay."
In fact, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided." (Point 2358 http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm)
This slander against Cardinal Sarah should be replaced with an unbiased description, such as "He has been outspoken on the threat posed to Christianity by ... those redefining marriage."
- CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE: "He has been outspoken on the threat posed to Christianity by ... those destroying real marriage."
- UNBIASED: "He has been outspoken on the threat posed to Christianity by ... those redefining marriage."
- ANTI-CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE: "He has been outspoken on the threat posed to Christianity by ... those seeking equal rights for those that are gay."
- The use of the term "threat" suggests serious bias. And even Sarah hasn't claimed the threat is posed to Christianity but rather tha family. Contaldo80 (talk) 14:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- OK, How do we fix this page?

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 00:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

- Please stop misrepresenting Cardinal Sarah's position. The projection of your opinion into the cardinal's description amounts to slander.Cr7777777 (talk) 02:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
