Pope condemns gay nuptials

[capt_buzzard]

Pope Benedict, in his first clear pronouncement on gay marriages since his election, condemned same-sex unions as a fake and said they were expressions of 'anarchic freedom' that threatened the future of the family.
The Pope showed there would be no softening of the hard line taken by his predecessor by going on to condemn divorce, artificial birth control, trial marriages and free-style unions.

That's a man who desperately needs to get laid! And perhaps in a MMF.

Surprise-Surprise!
And i think it goes without saying that same sex unions threatened the future of the family.
I know they can work wonders in the old science dept these days, but i doubt if they'll ever get round to impregnating a man!

The Roman Catholic Church would not allow that

only the pope would know right? popes are usually old so they don;t know any better. you can love anyone you want nowadays? i prefer the traditional position.

The real joke is that the Pope thinks that all Roman Catholics accept and practise what he pronounces. Some do live in their own world.

i don't think it's entirely fair to call it a 'joke'. it's the structure of their faith, for better or worse. sure, millions don't follow the papal word to the letter. i'd bet millions in virtually all faiths don't follow the 'law' to the letter either.

i think this pronouncement was certainly unsurprising, no question about that. how many centuries did it take for them to reverse the heresy judgement against galileo? five or so? change comes slowly to the catholic faith. that's perhaps a blessing, perhaps a curse. either way, it is what it is.

And His priests can abuse our children. But this is ok in the eyes of his church.

They can believe and practice what they want, what I object to is when they start to impose their views on everybody else and dictate how people shpuld live. If you don't want to use contraceptivs fine, don't, But that doiesn't mean you can campaign to have the provision banned for everybody else. I feel the same way about protestants, go to church on sunday if you want just don't try and make me come as well.

Hershesy, now where did that come from?
