Worse than Germany: Cardinal Tarcisio Kikuchi of Tokyo has welcomed the
Japanese government's plan to promote "understanding of sexual
orientation and gender identity", which was approved on 16 June. The
plan involves education and "awareness initiatives" in government,
schools, and workplaces, as well as measures to combat "discrimination"
against homosexuals.
In an interview with UcaNews.com on June 17,
Cardinal Kikuchi described the government’s decision as “meaningful”,
stating that it had clearly articulated a policy intended to foster a
"deeper understanding of sexual minorities".
And: "An inclusive
community that welcomes everyone is not just an attitude; it is the
first step towards building the world that God calls us to create."
The cardinal's latest remarks are consistent with his longstanding homosex activism. Tokyo Archdiocese has organised monthly homosexual Eucharists. In 2023, he contributed to the book LGBT and Christianity, promoted by the 'Catholic HIV/AIDS Desk'. Homosexual activists identified Cardinal Kikuchi as a -prelate when Francis named him a cardinal in 2024.
