Additional quotes by Carlo Maria Martini

Often the language used to talk about God is stunted and feeble, sometimes awkward, sometimes generic; one easily divides into verticalists and horizontalists, traditionalists and progressives, one makes judgements that, in the light of the Gospel, are at least inadequate.

Personalmente ritengo che Dio ci ha creato uomo e donna e che perciò la dottrina morale tradizionale conserva delle buone ragioni su questo punto. Naturalmente sono pronto ad ammettere che in alcuni casi la buona fede, le esperienze vissute, le abitudini contratte, l'inconscio e probabilmente anche una certa inclinazione nativa possono spingere a scegliere per sé un tipo di vita con un partner dello stesso sesso. Nel mondo attuale tale comportamento non può venire perciò né demonizzato né ostracizzato.
