He also emphasised that the government must "the sacred rights of defenceless children, which lead to adoption, the human rights of children, who in infancy and immature childhood are subjected to compulsory sexual education, with all that it entails, and those determined under the Constitution for protection of male and female students from intra-school violence."

Metropolitan Seraphim concluded, "Let the plans to legalize the ‘marriages’ of same-sex ‘couples’ and the resulting childbearing be thwarted because they will attract God’s wrath."

As reported, Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus said that homosexuality causes cancer and death.
