The Pope has again launched into what is becoming a disturbing mantra: gay marriage is threatening the future of mankind. Now that the Mayan apocalypse has passed, it appears the Pope is ready with a substituted menace of loving gay couples marrying. Pope Benedict XVI insisted that gender theories supporting homosexuality are false and that the world must confront “the question of what it means to be a man, and what it is necessary to do to be true men.”
The Pope criticized theories suggesting that homosexuality is natural and insists that “[t]he profound falsehood of this theory and of the anthropological revolution contained within it is obvious . . . it becomes clear that when God is denied, human dignity also disappears.”
The statement again relies on this false assumption that gay marriage is a threat to family and procreation. The opposite is clearly true. Many such couples want to have children either by artificial insemination or adoption. Same-sex marriage expands the number of families, not reduce that number.

GAY’S DENOUNCE POPE AS A THREAT TO MANKIND

Apologize for the link error. It should have been this one:

Fellini’s ROMA, priests’ fashion show:
And once again I ask, what “damage” can same-sex marriage possibly do to the human race, that countless millions of rotten heterosexual marriages haven’t already done.
And the Pope discussing human morality – in the vile absence of L.A.’s Cardinal Mahony’s bleeding head on a church plate – is beyond logic.
I suspect that sooner rather than later, the Supreme Court will rule on the obvious – “marriage” is a contract, and gender is entirely immaterial.
Then we can move on to the really interesting issue, because according to the esteemed Ray Kurzweil, we’ll soon have some curious eggs to fry, when it comes to who’s zooming who.
The Pope was a member of the Hitler Youth Group. It shows. He was born in 1927. That is Old. Perhaps we need a new German who is more Youthful.
Pedophile fathers..
Pedophile priests..
They got the little guys on a leash
Pull Pope Pull !
Here is something to lighten the day
TUBE CAT !!
(might be an advert first)
Evanberrett,
Why do STRAIGHT men and women continue to produce gay and lesbian babies/children?
Must be good, wouldn’t you say?
Or did god screw up?
One small step for man..
One giant step for mankind.
I play dominos, you play dominos, I can beat you at dominos…
If China would promote gay marriage there are enough of those folks to go around that they could end their one child per couple rule. Because that rule causes abortions of females which leads to too many males which should lead to gay marriage. Or is my logic twisted?
I would not be taking lessons on what constitutes manhood from this numbskull.
This from a man who wears a dress…
Of course he is against it.
There is no greater threat to world peace than people who love each other and look out for one another.
Except perhaps the aforementioned pedophiles.
Remember Mr. Turley argues for plural marriage under the sought after definition of marriage as the union of “Loving & Committed” persons. Under that definition all co-habit couples become similarly situated and have a claim to the same benefits afforded marriage.
Kraaken, too funny. I heard the other day that those are not just any pair of red slippers, they are actually specially made by Prada. No joke. Only the finest for the Almighty. I wonder when indulgences will be resurrected.
“that the world must confront “the question of what it means to be a man, and what it is necessary to do to be true men.”
THIS from an old man in a white dress wearing ruby slippers? You’ve GOT to be KIDDING!
evan, I enjoy reading so make your comment as long as it needs to be to get your point across. To answer your question, “No,” it does not make sense to me. Again, you speak in generalizations and you need to elaborate to further the discussion. E.g.:
“But I also believe the family, as it was originally designed and as I feel it should be does not work exactly as it should with couples of the same gender”
Specifically, in what ways would the family not “work exactly as it should” with same sex marriage?
“I really feel that man and women have contributions to a family “unit” if you will, that without one gender or the other, some elements are lost. As a proponent of building the family to combat the ills of the world, I think those elements are essential.”
What specific elements are lost?
No doubt each parent brings contributions to the family, but I think those contributions have already evolved from the traditional man/woman role. The family unit of old has evolved. Generally speaking, the majority of both parents must work, must care for the child, and must contribute to household duties. So I think the roles of man/woman, and their respective contributions to the family, are already strikingly similar and becoming more so.
Again, believing something is one thing, but the validity of the basis to form those beliefs is another matter.

Pedophile priest are the threat.

Ditto!
I wonder how two adults of the same sex who love each other and marry can be considered a threat to mankind.
P Smith: You’re right about obedience. My obedience is by choice as well. But I don’t see how “my advice” would make things worse…how would putting off sex till marriage and using condoms after then make things worse?
And please don’t be hostile, I try to put a lot of thought actually in what I say and I’m willing to listen to what others have to say. Believe it or not, I’m willing to change as I understand truths better.
Juris, how long of a comment are you willing to read? :p. Nothing wrong with calling me out. I do feel you can have both though. I feel comfortable in saying that any homosexual deserves the same respect and equality as I have, that I believe in a God who loves he/she and I the same regardless. But I also believe the family, as it was originally designed and as I feel it should be does not work exactly as it should with couples of the same gender. I don’t hate or think less of anyone who wants the same kind of family with a same-sex coupling, but I just don’t find it to be the same. It’s an honorable endeavor to raise a family no matter who does it.
I’m not saying the fabric of society is “magical”, or somehow incomprehensible. I don’t think that a world-wide acceptance of homosexual marriage or what have you will have a sudden and dramatic impact. Rather, as I pointed out in the previous comment regarding this discussion, I really feel that man and women have contributions to a family “unit” if you will, that without one gender or the other, some elements are lost. As a proponent of building the family to combat the ills of the world, I think those elements are essential. Does that make sense?
evanberrett – “I don’t think condoms are necessarily the answer”
You don’t think, period. You’re living in a fantasy world, in denial of facts.
The only person who has to obey your religion is you. Those who don’t belong to your cult don’t have to listen to it or you, especially when your and pope Vindictive’s”advice” is to make the problem worse.
