He did it again as this year ends, when he lit a Christmas tree, warning the world against the evils of abortion and societal celebration of sodomy! Pope lights Christmas tree and says abortion, gay marriage are threats to peace
As the year ends, pro-sodomy activists are spewing anger at the Pope because he upholds biblical principles:Protesters target Vatican over gay marriage slight
By the way, these protestors, getting a lot of play in the media (it was one of the top stories on yahoo! today), is quite small. Look at this quote from the reuters feed:
The group of about 15 people held up signs...
So 15 pro-sodomy activists get all sorts of media coverage...I call that biased.
Pope or not - I’m glad the guy has some balls. We need more and more of this. The queers wanna have their way, not that easy without someone firing back. It’s about damn time.
Only a few years ago the Pope’s comments wouldn’t have even caused a ripple.
I’m not keen on gay weddings.
However, what is destroying America is heterosexual divorces, and people shacking up. About half the kids born today are outside of wedlock, and marriages inside the church fail at the same rate as those outside.
The church needs to focus on getting our people to live right.
Words are cheap, Benedict.
Great words from a great man. Thank God for the Catholic Church!!
The Pope is right.
People used to be able to map consequences in life and they valued human life, espeically well being of children. No more.
It’s as if Western people have abosorbed the death ideal of liberalism and it has eaten their brains and souls. Will they embrace the fascist government(s), too? Kill the Jooos? Kill the rich? Just kill? Anyone for labor camps? Canabalism?

“Now, since the family and human society at large spring from marriage, these men will on no account allow matrimony to be the subject of the jurisdiction of the Church. Nay, they endeavor to deprive it of all holiness, and so bring it within the contracted sphere of those rights which, having been instituted by man, are ruled and administered by the civil jurisprudence of the community. Wherefore it necessarily follows that they attribute all power over marriage to civil rulers, and allow none whatever to the Church; and, when the Church exercises any such power, they think that she acts either by favor of the civil authority or to its injury. Now is the time, they say, for the heads of the State to vindicate their rights unflinchingly, and to do their best to settle all that relates to marriage according as to them seems good.”
—Pope Leo XIII 130 years ago.
He saw the danger of the state defining the institution for its purposes, but if you would have described the concept of state accepted ‘gay marriage’ to him, his mitre would have shot off his head like a rocket. It makes you wonder what judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public might consider marriage in another 130 years. Maybe a polymorous arrangement with your own sex-changed clones and a few human brains in animal bodies.
