ROME, May 27, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference was filmed this weekend
giving Holy Communion to a notorious “transsexual” and homosexualist
political activist who goes by the name Vladimir Luxuria, at the funeral
Mass of a controversial Genoan priest.
The deceased priest, Fr.
Andrea Gallo (hereafter referred to as Don Gallo), strongly opposed
Catholic teaching on sexuality. In the video clip, published by the
national newspaper Corriere della Sera, Angelo Bagnasco, the Cardinal
Archbishop of Genoa is seen giving Communion to Luxuria, and another
transsexual at the funeral of Fr. Andrea Gallo.
Three thousand
flocked from all over Italy for the funeral of Don Gallo, the priest
they called the “pretaccio communista” (an ironic use of “lousy
communist priest”) and the “angelic anarchist”. Some participants wore
t-shirts with the slogan, “Tell me who to exclude and I’ll tell you who
you are”.
Standing in front of a group of priests wearing rainbow
stoles and addressing the gathered thousands, Vladimir Luxuria gave a
eulogy in which he thanked Don Gallo for “letting us open the doors of
your church and your heart.”
“Thank you for having us transgender
creatures feel willed by God and loved by God. We hope that many will
follow your example and someone will apologize.”
Born Wladimiro
Guadagno, actor and former prostitute Vladimir Luxuria (“Lust” in Latin)
was a member of the Italian parliament and a founding member of the
Communist Refoundation Party. Although he remains physically a male, he
claims “female identity” and is famous in European politics as the first
openly “transgender” member of any European national legislature. In
1994 he helped organise Italy’s first Gay Pride festival in Rome.
