The Vatican got itself into another controversy. Well, on the usual – homosexuality.
This time, it is opposing a resolution which decriminalizes homosexuality on the grounds that:
“If adopted, they would create new and implacable discriminations. For example, states which do not recognize same-sex unions as ‘matrimony’ will be pilloried and made an object of pressure,” Said Archbishop Celestino Migliore.
Don’t we hear enough of this nonsense? Rightly so, ‘Franco Grillini, founder and honorary president of Arcigay, Italy’s leading gay rights group, said the Vatican’s reasoning smacked of “total idiocy and madness.’
It is.
He continued: “The French resolution, which is supported by all 27 members of the European Union, has nothing to do with gay marriage. It is about stopping jail and the death penalty for homosexuals.”
Perhaps, Franco, because he suffers from this condition, can’t see that the church means well, after all paragraph no. 2358 of the Catechism affirms that ‘this inclination [homosexuality], which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial … these persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives [while you are at it, why don't you give a small donation] and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.’
Well, opposing the resolution does not ease their condition, right?
