Homosexuality is usually a problem transferred to a foetus, when a pregnant woman has anal sex and enjoys it, the Bishop of Morphou Neophytos said during a recent speech, LGBTI rights group ACCEPT said on Thursday.
During his speech in June to a group of people in Akaki, the bishop said Saint Porfyrios made mention of the issue in his writings. “It is a problem, which is usually transmitted by parents to the child,” the bishop said.
He added that it occurs when the couple has sex while the woman is pregnant, and the sex is “unnatural,” as he characterised anal sex.
The bishop said that when the woman enjoys anal sex, “a desire is created, which is then transmitted to the unborn child.”
From 'Cyprus Mail
He is very knowledgable then

I read this yesterday on the Cyprus Mail website. When I stopped laughing I realised that this guy was being serious. Someone commented that these guys are required to practise celibacy as part of their calling. Apart from that I'm lost for words.

I don't know who are the most bonkers, the Bishop or those that listen to him, take him seriously and believe it.

The celibacy generally seems to mean just with adults

As the article says - "...He wasn’t asked how the holy monk knew how to recognise the smell...."
Seems the Archbishop, his bishops and monks have some intriguing pastimes, going around sniffing people and places (and practices)....
