Pope Condemns Gay Marriage - Says It's "Unnatural" And A Threat To Peace by Leadn(m): 3:23pm On Dec 17, 2012 |
Pope Benedict XVI the number one head of the roman catholic church has condemned gay marriage describing it as “unnatural” and a “threat to peace” The Pope said this on gay marriage during his World Day of Peace 2013 annual address: It’s “unnatural” and any support of same sex unions upsets the natural laws of faith and justice. Obviously, the LGBT community begs to differ with Benedict XVI. Even now, states that have accepted gay and lesbian marriages as legal may have a thing or two to say. On Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI launched the official celebration of the Catholic Christmas season by the lighting of the tree in Vatican City, according to a Dec. 16 Huffington Post report. Also read: “Jesus look-alike kicked out: A ‘distraction’ to darts tournament” The Holy See released a statement from the Pontiff who maintains his stance on gays and lesbians marrying of the same gender. The Pope on gay marriage: “There is…a need to acknowledge and promote the natural structure of marriage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different types of union. “Such attempts actually harm and help to destabilize marriage, obscuring its specific nature and its indispensable role in society. These principles are not truths of faith, nor are they simply a corollary of the right to religious freedom. They are inscribed in human nature itself, accessible to reason and thus common to all humanity.” While the culture of this long-standing controversial issue is moving towards tolerance, the Catholic leader believes same-sex marriage does more harm than good. Even as American states, President Obama, activists, some politicians and religious leaders have evolved in their opinions about gay marriage, Pope Benedict XVI has not budged in his position. However, bear in mind that the Pope’s stance on gay marriage has largely been the same. Recall that in the past, he has been quoted as saying same-sex unions are “insidious and dangerous” and a “threat to humanity.” While the standoff continues, those who oppose his position must look on the inside and do what is best for them based on their current beliefs. http://xtremegists.com/2012/12/gay-marriage-unnatural-threatens-peace-pope/ |

How can the Pope condemn an act that a large minority of his clergy engage in. With all the cover-ups, relocations and downright disgrace , who is he to condemn others. Let him sort out the h.omosexuality in the catholic 'church' first, then he will see clearly to help others. 3 Likes |

IT IS GROSSLY IMMORAL AND THE WISE POPE HAS COME OUT TO CONDEMN IT (EVEN IF ONE FORMER CATHOLIC PRIEST WAS A HOMOSEXUAL) HE DID THE RIGHT THING TO DISSOCIATE HIMSELF FROM THAT UNGODLY ACT! |

Leadn: But he has been involved in cover-ups to protect his bishops and priests in the past. For example , instead of removing them from office, he relocates them to another parish with anonymity ,which means these gay priests become repeat offenders. |

The comments here on this thread here are foolish apart from Jesoul's and Frosbel's. Marriage existed before the catholic church, judaism and christianity. What real right does the Pope have to say about marriage? His church that has been rocked with homosexual scandals of man and boy? Hypocrite. Even so, how does gay marriage threaten peace? Rather the catholic church is a threat to peace itself. |

Marriage is the preserve of culture, hence such relationships are dictated by the cultural values. In our modern, multipluralistic society, hatred and xenophobia shouldn't have a place. Racists, homophobes are blinded by ideologies. 1 Like |

Logicboy03: The comments here on this thread here are foolish apart from Jesoul's and Frosbel's.YES! Our comments are stupid and foolish and your comment and that of your atheist friends are full of wisdom and insight, but I have a simple question for you that will require simply Yes or No as an answer. If your parents were GAY, and they both went for GAY MARRIAGE, would you have come into existence to diffentiate between foolish and wise comments on Nairaland. Just answer YES or NO. 3 Likes |
