'Most Gays Are Perverts,' Belgian Cardinal Says

BRUSSELS (Reuters)
- A Belgian cardinal said on Wednesday only 5 percent to 10 percent of lesbians and gays were actually gay and the rest were "sexual perverts."

"I am willing to write in my own blood that of all those who call themselves lesbian or gay, a maximum of five to 10 percent are effectively lesbian or gay," Cardinal Gustaaf Joos, 80, told the Belgian weekly P-Magazine in an interview.

"All the rest are just sexual perverts," said Joos, who is also a parish priest in the small Belgian town of Landskouter.

"I demand you write that down," said Joos, who was made a cardinal by Pope John Paul late last year. "I don't care if they all come protesting at my door. I won't open the door."

The Belgian Catholic church reacted to the interview by saying Joos was speaking in a private capacity.

"It concerns a private view of cardinal Joos who doesn't speak on behalf of the Belgian bishops. He is not a member of the Belgian conference of bishops," spokesman Toon Osaer told VRT television, adding that it did not have the power to reprimand Joos.

"Cardinal Joos directly falls under the jurisdiction of the pope in Rome," he said.

Joos later told the same television station: "I'm just speaking out on what thousands of people are thinking but never get a chance to say."
