The Pope emeritus Benedict XVI He attacks, in the final chapter of a book published this Monday in Germany, against gay marriage and what he calls “the creed of the antichrist” which, he says, punishes those who do not adhere to him with social excommunication.
“A hundred years ago, everyone would have thought it absurd to talk about gay marriage. Today everyone who opposes him is excommunicated socially, “says Benedict XVI in an interview that closes a biography of more than a thousand pages written by the journalist Peter Seewald.
Something similar, according to Benedict XVI occurs with abortion and with the creation of human life in the laboratories.
“Modern society is formulating a creed of the antichrist and whoever opposes him is punished with social excommunication. Fear of the spiritual power of the antichrist is too natural“maintains the Pope Emeritus.
According to Benedict XVI, the real threat to the church today comes from “a world dictatorship of apparently humanistic ideologies. “
Seewald is the author of several books of interviews with the Pope Emeritus and the biography that appears this Monday, in the Droemer-Knaur publishing house, is the culmination of several years of work dedicated to the figure of Benedict XVI.
The author of the biography is a defender of Benedict XVI and maintains that the image of him as an ultra-conservative and reactionary pope is largely due to the “slander” of one of his main critics, the German ecumenical theologian. Hans Küng.
The biography, according to a statement from the publisher, will also appear in English, Spanish, French and Polish.
