Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has said he’s not going to hell for being gay after a priest called his sexuality a sin.
Fr Sean Sheehy, who delivered a sermon littered with anti-gay comments, defended his views and claimed the Fine Gael leader needed to repent. The cleric sparked a storm when a clip of his sermon on Sunday in which he hit out at “transgenderism” and declared gay sex a “mortal sin” went viral.
In an interview with Radio Kerry yesterday morning he was asked if he believed “openly gay” politicians such as Tanaiste Leo Varadkar are “going to hell”. He replied: “Absolutely if they don’t repent on sin and seek forgiveness. Because what they’re doing is contrary to the law of nature.
