The Spanish prelate added to Strickland’s comment, saying that “being proud of pride is very unintelligent, because pride comes before the fall and that’s how it also happened in sacred history.”
Munilla lamented that the symbol of the rainbow “is used in a way that goes from being a sign of the covenant with God to being a sign of pride in which man separates himself from God, from natural law, from reality.”
Thus, the rainbow becomes “a kind of tower of Babel that rises defiantly saying: I am proud and I have my own project,” the bishop pointed out.
After noting that the rainbow “is the image of the humanity of Jesus Christ” according to many Fathers of the Church, he recalled that the tower of Babel “fell down with a loud crash because everything that is built on clay has no cohesion.”
The Spanish bishop pointed out that “gender ideology, LGBT ideology has feet of clay: It is built contrary to nature itself, contrary man’s own being, against that difference of sexual duality in which God created us.”
