Gay marriage is "eclipse of God": Vatican

The Vatican said on Tuesday that gay marriage, abortion, lesbians
wanting to bear children and a host of other practices it sees as
threats to the traditional family were signs of "the eclipse of God."
A 60-page document, called "Family and Human Procreation," was issued
just days after President Bush urged the Senate to pass a
constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
The document strongly restated many of the Roman Catholic Church's
positions on sexuality, marriage and life but went further, saying the
family today was more endangered than at any time before in history.
"The causes are diverse but the 'eclipse' of God, creator of man, is at
the root of the profound current crisis concerning the truth about man,
about human procreation and the family," said the document, prepared by
the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family.
It said the family was under attack around the world, even in
traditionally Christian cultures, by what it called "radical currents"
proposing new family models.
It listed these threats as homosexual marriages, giving gay couples
equal legal recognition as married heterosexuals, lesbians demanding
the right to bear children through artificial insemination and gays who
want to adopt children.
Bush, in his radio address last weekend, called for a constitutional
amendment to keep "activist" judges from overturning efforts by some
state legislatures to ban gay marriage.
Gay marriage has been an increasingly divisive issue in the United
States since a Massachusetts court ruled in 2003 that the state
legislature could not ban it, paving the way for America's first
same-sex marriages the following year.
NEW ITALY GOVERNMENT DIVIDED
The issue of gay marriage and the recognition of unwed heterosexual
couples is also one that Italy's new centre-left government will likely
have to confront.
The coalition of Prime Minister Romano Prodi promises some form of
recognition for unmarried couples but has so far stopped short of
openly supporting gay marriage as part of its program.
However, some coalition parties back greater rights for homosexuals,
including marriage, and the issue is widely expected to surface sooner
or later.
Some in the center left support a legal recognition similar to that in
France, which in 1999 granted all couples the right to form civil
unions and have the right to joint social security, limited inheritance
rights and other benefits.
Italy's powerful Roman Catholic Church opposes this.
Since his election last year, Pope Benedict has been accused by some
politicians of interfering in domestic affairs by speaking out against
gay marriage and legal recognition of unmarried heterosexuals.
Gay unions are already legal in several European countries, including
traditionally Catholic Spain. Britain has introduced a law allowing
gays to formalize their relationships.
In other parts of the document, the Vatican branded abortion an
"abominable crime" and said it was "inconceivable" that it remained
unpunished.
Abortion until the third month of pregnancy has been legal in Italy
since 1978 but some conservative Catholics want to ban it again.

But it's only an eclipse of *their* god -- their bigoted, violent,
bipolar-disordered God.

How many more times are you going to post this piece of rubbish? The
arguments are from the last millennium and are simply an attempt to

Has it ever occurred to them that their "God talk" is an

Tell the Vatican to make up its mind, if the idiots that run it have a
a mind to begin with.
I thought God was omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and all the other
omnies why would a social contract between insignificant humans eclipse
Him?
If such social contracts do eclipse Him, He must be a weakling. Poor
