Video of weeping Folau emerges as conduct trial looms | Sport24news
telling church-goers he won't compromise his faith emerged on Friday, ahead of a hearing to decide if the Wallabies star's homophobic outbursts will end his international career.
"In your workplace, if they tell you something that will compromise your faith, this a test in which you're going to be challenged," he says in the video.Calling himself"a soldier of Christ", Folau breaks down in tears after quoting the scripture verse:"For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"
RA is also likely to cite Folau's repeated breaches of its social media policy, arguing he broke a commitment to avoid anti-gay online evangelicism following last year's controversy. Others in the Wallabies camp have also criticised Folau but some, particularly from Pacific Islands backgrounds, have reportedly been angered because they feel their religion is under attack.
The Australian newspaper reported RA chief executive Raelene Castle wrote to players last month telling them that the organisation respected their religious beliefs.
