Surprise: “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson has put his foot in his mouth again.

The A&E star, who infamously went off on homosexuality late last year in an interview for GQ magazine, blamed “orthodox liberal opinion” for the spread of sexually transmitted infections and argued that “biblically correct sex” can’t spread those infections in a sermon last month in West Monroe, La.

“Biblically correct sex is safe,” Robertson said in the sermon, which was flagged by CNS News Tuesday. “It’s safe. You’re not going to get chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS – if you, if a man marries a woman, and neither of you have it, and you keep your sex between the two of you, you’re not going to get ever sexually transmitted diseases.”

He then attributed those “terrible, debilitating diseases” to “orthodox liberal opinion,” which he defined thusly: “Just breed anything and anybody. Just have at it. Go for it.”

“Look, God’s way is the safe way. That’s all I’m saying,” he added. “True or false? Man meets woman, marries her, keeps his sex right there, the children come, the chances of them getting a sexually transmitted disease, would you say is almost zero?”

Remember, Robertson said in that same infamous GQ interview that it’s not his place to “judge” those he feels have sinned.
