Looks like the Catholic church still is not open to change. What a surprise.
"Terrorism with a human face"
Gay marriage evil, abortion terrorism: Vatican

Posted: 4/24/07 at 7:39pmDid we really think it would change its stance?

Posted: 4/24/07 at 7:49pmIsn't it wonderful how a 2000 year old theology can be so threatened by a 40 year movement. Gotta love that!

I thought this was going to be ana analogy.
Something like Vatican is to Homosexuality as George Bush is to Pretzels.
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.

haha, sorry for the letdown, I guess.
It said "Vatican: Homosexual: "Terrorism with a human face", but it got cut off.

To be fair, I read it as that the terrorism comment applied to euthanasia and abortion and that gay marriage was just an evil.
F*CK the Vatican, at any rate.
#11re: Vatican: Homosexuality :

The subject line autmatically cuts off anything enclosed in double quotes--not sure why...
Have we all decided to enclose amanda24/RTFan in double quotes and cut her/him/it off?

With views like this, it's no wonder the Catholic Church is losing membership, as well as losing its influence in so much of the world.
One can only speculate as to the % of Catholic clergy who are homosexual. Their level of self-loathing must be incomprehensible.
#17re: Vatican: Homosexuality :
Posted: 4/25/07 at 10:07ammadbrian... i personally know loads of gay priests and can only say that most progressive catholic churches in America completely ignore what the Vatican has to say about this... according to Vatican II, no Catholic church has to follow it anyway...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Vatican II?
The sequel?

It didn't do nearly as well at the box office, b12b, which is why you probably never saw it. 
It's the Second Vatican Council, held back in the 60s to bring the church into the "modern" world. We got to drop Latin as the official language of Mass and gave the bishops a little more freedom to incorporate local traditions and sensibilities into the church.
#20re: Vatican: Homosexuality :
Posted: 4/25/07 at 11:00amUgh. Who'd pay to see that?
#22re: Vatican: Homosexuality :

Thanks, chicolini.
I dropped Latin too and took Home Economics instead.

Loved it! saw it 3 times in the theatre!
I must say after that dock scene I can never look at John Paul's hat the same way.

Freedom to misspell and improperly construct sentences, too.
And no, you loon, you didn't. If you're a sock puppet, you've done it in a rather uninspired manner. If you're real, then you're just a deplorable excuse for a human being. Either way I come out ahead.
