Pope blasts same-sex marriage in Christmas address

[songfourone]

To hear some cry you pull anything and everything you disagree with.

And some keep track of it

[slapshot]

They have done way more horrible things along the way, it is about the power and the money. Some are fooled.

Read about Pope Alexander VI, or the House of the Borgia's. Corruption and debautury in the Catholic Church goes back many centuries.

[BlandFood]

I give to PP.

It's your dime. :shrug:

That is a drop in the bucket of the horrendous deeds of the Catholic church over the centuries. The Crusades, the Inquisition, just to name a few.

[BlandFood]

In good time

Yeah, you know Christmas has as good as come and gone........... maybe next year, or the year after, or the year after or the year after.......

They may well be in their 90's before they're gone..... from natural causes.

[BlandFood]

Many dimes

Uh huh..

[songfourone]

Ironic how some cry about the children in Conn but put money in a collection plate every week to pay off lawsuits from child molesters. SMDH.

Or shucking them out like oysters by the millions.........

True.

The Catholic Church and Jews in Nazi Germany.

Every generation, in the Church's history, there's some major embarrassment.

[Byng]

So if you are putting money in the collection plate every Sunday you are in essence supporting the mass molestation of children. Must give some a warm fuzzy feeling.

It boggles the mind that anybody, Catholic or not would give a rats rear-end what the Pope has to say about Homosexuality in general or Gay Marriage in particular because Catholic Priests obviously don't!

In the United States around 70% of Catholic Priests are homosexual with some areas like Miami Florida as high as 90% Homosexual. One might be forgiven for suggesting that if the Pope looks on it as such a threat to 'traditional' marriage he should be looking to put his own house in order before preaching to the rest of the World.

The Pope has become irrelevant, and needs to stay that way.

I guess they missed one!

Can anyone tell me how same-sex marriage is an attack on the traditional family?
.

Traditional family is one man one woman. Two men is not traditional marriage. The better question that your need to be asking is why did you have to hijack marriage? Why not just do a civil union with the same rights. How will doing a civil union hurt you? Hijacking marriage is an attack on the traditional family. As much as you might try, two men will never equal one man one woman. Separate but equal applies.

Hijack marriage???? Have you been living under a rock???

Marriage 40. Divorce 60.

Marriage is losing.

Not for me its not. Marriage is what the man and woman make it. Besides, your point has nothing to do with Matt's question.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. So what if priests are homosexual, as long as they keep their vows and not have sex?

Just because a man marries a man or a woman marries a woman, it does not change my marriage one iota. How does it change yours?

Many years ago I had a good friend who became a priest. In fact, he was a homosexual and struggled with entering the priesthood but did. He was and is a wonderful person in love with God and his calling in life.

You have to explain to me how two men or two women getting married is an attack on the traditional family. Were women who were seeking the ability to vote attacking male voters?
