Well, one of the things I object to is that, to my mind, the man gave his opinion, but wrapped it up as divine truth. There is no mention of this being his opinion, rather we have a high ranking religious person apparently claiming this as truth. The same absolute truth which he apparently thinks gives him the right to pass judgment on other people's life. Plus, with him being high ranking, is it surprising when people think he is speaking not just for himself, but for a wider community from his church? I think the man is either extremely arrogant, extremely stupid, or both.
