Rector of Cathedral in Pope's former Diocese: "I never heard from him one sentence in favor of all these [human sexuality] novelties"

The rector of the Chiclayo Cathedral in the years when Robert Prevost was diocesan ordinary, Fr. Jorge Millan Cotrina, lived with other priests in the residence of the bishop, now Pope Leo XIV, for 8 years.

He was interviewed earlier today by a famous Argentine radio interviewer (YouTube video embedded in the end here, in Spanish); the interviewer pressed him on regarding "LGBT issues." 

After making clear that these "LGBT" issues really are irrelevant in Chiclayo, unlike abroad and in the Peruvian capital Lima, the priest was firm: "He [Leo XIV] knows very well what is the teaching of Christ" on such matters; "he showed it to us in his homilies; I never heard from him one sentence in favor of all these novelties. Rather, he was always a man who tried to put realities in the proper place."

Millan added: "He has always been that way. If someone knocks at his door, a homosexual, a group, he welcomes them, he will welcome them, he will try to help them in some problem that they may have, but as Christ and the Gospel teach, he knows where sin is, and what needs to be done is to remove the man from the sin." 

And so went on the interview, including making clear that homosexual acts are gravely sinful, mentioning them by name, to the exasperation of the Argentines.
