Doesn't the Pope understand that his god supposedly create the Universe and
everything in it. This means he also created man and homosexuals.

Science has determined that homosexuality is an inherited birth defect.

person has no control over his inherited characteristics any more than he
can control imbecility, blindness, deafness or other birth defects.

Calling his gods creation a sin is the same as saying his god created sin
and is sinful!

Church has duty to speak out: 'Does man not concern us, too?'





In his most powerful statements to date on issues involving sexual
morality, Pope Benedict XVI said homosexuals end up destroying
themselves so the Church has a duty to speak out on moral issues that
affect the very spiritual and physical lives of man.

"In seeking to emancipate himself from his body (from the 'biological
sphere'), [man] ends up by destroying himself," the pope told
cardinals, archbishops, bishops and members of the Roman Curia last
week in a traditional meeting overlooked by most of the world's press.
"Against those who say that 'the Church should not involve herself in
these matters,' we can only respond: does man not concern us too? The
church and believers must raise their voices to defend man, the
creature who, in the inseparable unity of body and spirit, is the image
of God."

The pope also lamented low birth rates in Europe, saying couples no
longer seem to want children. This fact, he said, has "penetrated my
soul."

"Men and women today are unsure about the future," he explained. "This
fact, alongside the desire to have all of life to themselves, is
perhaps the most profound reason for which the risk of having children
appears to many as almost unbearable. ... If we do not relearn the
basic foundations of life - if we do not rediscover the certainty of
faith - it will also be ever more difficult for us to give others the
gift of life and the challenges of an unknown future."

The pope also referred to the controversy over same-sex marriage.

"At this point, I cannot fail to mention my concern over 'de facto'
couples," he said. "When new legislation is created that relativizes
marriage, the rejection of the definitive bond gains, so to speak,
juridical endorsement. Relativizing the difference between the sexes
... tacitly confirms those bleak theories which seek to remove all
relevance from a human being's masculinity or femininity, as if this
were a purely biological matter."

Due to the continued insistence of the Pope, he and the many cardinals,
bishops, and priests below him are living a lifestyle as foreign to the
creation and raising of children as can possibly be imagined. They are
forbidden to marry and have children, as they insist God wants everyone
to do. They are also not permitted to engage in sperm donation,
surrogacy, or any of the other ways of bringing children into the world
assisted by modern technology.

For the most part, they are even forbidden from adopting parentless
children who need homes. (There have been a few exceptions over the
decades, but as a general rule, priests don't adopt.)

People sometimes say, "If everyone was gay, the human race would die
out. That PROVES homosexuality is wrong!" This is, in fact, an
incorrect statement. Gays and lesbians are quite capable of bringing
new children into the world (well, as usual, the men just donate some
genetic material, while the women do that AND all the hard work - but
that's normal.) They do it every day of the week.

that, if everybody adopted the same lifestyle as a priest (that is, one
who follows the Church's rules), the human race WOULD die out. Does
that prove that the priestly life is abnormal?

The Pope keeps telling everybody that any sex outside of heterosexual
marriage is not what God intended for mankind. Can he honestly claim
that NOT HAVING SEX (ever, at all), as he and his priests do (or are
supposed to do), represents God's plan for human sexuality?

Anyone man that wears a dress and a pointed hat should probably just solve
his own problems and leave others to solve theirs.

Looks like the pope is a liar as well as a bigot.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he
love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from
him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
