A top Italian history professor has caused outrage after he claimed that the Roman Empire fell due to the rise of homosexuality.

Roberto De Mattei, 63, a devout Roman Catholic, had already raised eyebrows by saying the Japan tsunami was "divine punishment", and now with his latest claim he faces calls to resign.

"The collapse of the Roman Empire and the arrival of the Barbarians was due to the spread of homosexuality," the Daily Mail quoted the vice-president of Italy's prestigious Centre for National Research as saying in a radio interview.

"The Roman colony of Carthage was a paradise for homosexuals and they infected many others. The invasion of the Barbarians was seen as punishment for this moral transgression.

"It is well known effeminate men and homosexuals have no place in the kingdom of God.

"Homosexuality was not rife among the Barbarians and this shows God's justice comes throughout history," he stated.

Fellow historians, gay rights groups and politicians expressed their outrage over his claims.

"I have tabled an urgent call for the education minister to intervene," Paola Concia, an MP with the Democratic Left, said.

Italian homosexual groups said the professor's comments were "based on superstition, ridiculous and outrageous" and called on him to resign from his Rome-based post…

Edward Gibbon in his work, “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”, postulated that Christianity was a major cause of the fall of Rome. He is mostly wrong, and only correct to the extent that Christians would not send their sons to fight for Sodomite legions. Homosexuality is the root cause.

Christian disciplined armies are unstoppable

It was one of several factors. Just as important was Rome didn’t protect her borders..sound familiar?

[BipolarBob]

We are about to experience the cure. Anyone excited about it?

I'm excited. So what happens after a Pride parade?

If it is true or not he has every right to say it and to believe it.

I have not read the Professor’s entire thesis, however His point is that homosexuals are given over to a way of thinking that is not productive. A type of self destructive predatory hedonism that undermines civilization…

Romans 1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Homersexuality is a behavior and it has a lot of related destructive behaviors.

Like what, for example...

I hear the footsteps of “the Gods of the copybook headings”.

“As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire; (Kipling)

“And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!”

A Roman historian, or observer, wrote that toward the end, everyone in government was homosexual, and anyone not a homosexual could not get into government.

That has already started in our universities.

This is scholarship? I was taught that’s why Rome fell in elementary school. The word used was morals but it meant licentiousness.

[Clutch Martin]

“He is mostly wrong”

Studied Gibbons, and Roman history... in a formal setting. Is there a citing you could refer the readers to.

[wardaddy]

True
Celebrating homosexuality is a symptom of societal collapse

Discretion is not in their realm

I understand your point. But one of the principles of learning is repetition and this is new to a whole generation.

Why is it new? because we didn’t teach it to others.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Read the Professor’s thesis.

“Corruption and decadence”

Followed by massive taxes to keep the decadence going, followed by debasement of the currency and huge inflation hurting the middle classes.

Has a familiar ring to it, doesn’t it?
