During the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in 2014, Cardinal Kasper told reporters that since African, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries have a "taboo" against homosexuality, "they should not tell us too much what we have to do."
Tijekom treće izvanredne opće skupštine biskupske sinode 2014. godine, kardinal Kasper izjavio je novinarima kako Afričke, Azijske i Bliskoistočne zemalje imaju "tabu protiv homoseksualnosti" te da nama "ne bi trebali govoriti što moramo činiti."
