" "Because there are cardinals who plead for the blessing of homosexual relationships, I referred to this paragraph of the Catechism [number 675] as a warning. It states that shortly before Apocalypse, voices will rise within the Church itself, and even among the highest authorities of the Church who will express divergent opinions in relation to Catholic doctrine. I did this as a warning: let us be careful not to find in this situation. I must say that, to my surprise, Cardinal Müller took up this idea: on February 9 of this year, he published a statement of the fundamental elements of the Catholic faith, in which he also referred to number 675 (2). It is also remarkable that my interview and the full quotations were also taken up by bishop Gänswein during the presentation of a book by Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option.

Additional quotes by Wim Eijk
Radical feminists in the ’60s said: “Well, you know, now we have contraception and we can use it in order to redeem, so to say, women of the tyranny of maternity, of having children, of bearing children.” But you know, they did not limit it to motherhood and female biology, they extended it to all biological sexes. So they say, well, “We have now the means to liberate people from their biological sex and to give them the gender they like. They can choose whatever they like, because there is no, or only a pretty remote connection, between gender, your social role and your biological sex.”
