The chaplain to the London Stock Exchange is recommending homosexuals be tattooed with a health warning similar to those on cigarette packs.

The Rev. Peter Mullen made the suggestion in a posting on a blog where he called homosexuality clearly unnatural, a perversion and a cause of fatal disease, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

The newspaper said Mullen also posted a poem about the blessing of two gay priests that concludes: The new Church of England embraces diversity, A fresh modulation on ancient perversity.

The bishop of London has condemned Mullen's writings.

While clergy are entitled to their own personal views, we recognize that the content of this text is highly offensive and is in no way reflective of the views of the Diocese of London, a spokesman said.

Church officials have told Mullen he could face disciplinary action.
