Here we go... the new Pope starts his crusade
 

"Pope Benedict, in his first clear pronouncement on gay marriages since his election, on Monday condemned same-sex unions as fake and expressions of "anarchic freedom" that threatened the future of the family.

The Pope, who was elected in April, also condemned divorce, artificial birth control, trial marriages and free-style unions, saying all of these practices were dangerous for the family.

"Today's various forms of dissolution of marriage, free unions, trial marriages as well as the pseudo-matrimonies between people of the same sex are instead expressions of anarchic freedom which falsely tries to pass itself off as the true liberation of man," he said."

And:

"In a clear reference to contraception, the Pope said couples went against the nature of love itself when they "systematically shut off" the possibility of "the gift of life"."



Brilliant. Let's see what's next. The TV is evil?

So same sex marriages, contraception and such are wrong and somehow hurt families, but an old fool telling people what to do isn't?

I mean no offense but I think anyone who listens to things like that need help.

well hes already been quoted as saying that ''rock music is a vehicle for evil'' so it wouldn't surpirse me.

andi

everyone knows the devil got all the best tunes anyways.

(puts on flame proof suit) I genuinelly think the Pope hitting out with shit like that and saying contraception is evil does alot more harm to the world than most wars ever will. You can't shoot an ideal no matter how ****ed up or stupid it is.

I just don't see how two people of the same sex getting married is danger to the family. What's the big deal, if they are in love ,Who are we to say that's wrong?

I never expected otherwise.

that's why I don't even pay attention to what he rambles on about.

ha we will all burn in hell i tell ya

Personally I think that HE should burn in hell for all the damage he will do. Why does no one in power ever think that too many children and not enough money is a danger to the family?

Why do people feel the need to follow anyone? Are they afraid to think for themselves, or is it just a case of shifting blame and responsibility? ("the devil tempted me to steal and kill, it wasn't my fault" etc)
