Vatican Official: Gays Are Treacherous
(Vatican City) A high ranking Vatican official has denounced what he calls a powerful cultural, economic and political lobby that is drowning out the voice of the Pope - gay civil rights groups and organizations supporting a woman's right to choose.

Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, the former Papal Nuncio to the UN and now the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace said the groups were "inspired mainly by anti-Christian prejudices".

"It is enough to think of how nonchalantly and blithely, yet tenaciously, these lobbies promote confusion over the role of gender identity, mock marriage between a man and a women, and take aim against life itself which is made the object of absurd forms of experimentation," Cardinal Martino said Monday.

Without mentioning by name Rocco Buttiglione, the embattled European Union's incoming Commissioner for Justice, it was clear that the remarks were aimed at Buttiglione's foes.

3. A far better use of their time than fighting, say, HUNGER.

4. "Gays are treacherous because they tempt priests with evil thoughts..."
"...Women too!"

Anyone else smell something burning, or is it just me?

9. My sister in law says that...
I ask .. so is it just a little more acceptable for a male priest to molest a female child..
or is she tempting him too?

A pedophile is a pedophile ...and if you give them free range to children with no accountability ...wow.. they will probably molest them ...
Who would have thought?

Holidays are getting tense.

11. This is sort of how the last Inquisition got going
Some Dominican got an erection, so he decided to start lighting women on fire.

Some priests have unusual and destructive reactions to sexual arousal, it seems.

5. Gay people are just so damned sneaky...
So reproductive rights and gay rights are inspired by anti-christian groups?!

This guy is an ass.

6. Won't quote Earl Butts here, but a remark he once made might again be
pertinent.

7. At the risk of pissing off the Catholics at DU...
...I feel compelled to say that I wish a fucking meteor would slam into Vatican City right about now. They just won't fucking let up. It's been one anti-gay statement after another. What the fuck else do they do all day.

...look at its history. Of course, they just say that's all in the past...

14. Yes Indeed!
Everyone Knows How Good Queers Have It Since We Have Such A Powerful Lobby! For God's Sake......

This Is Out Right Hate Wrapped In A "Pope Bun"!

Would You Like Fries With That Hate Sandwich?

How About Super Sizing It Since There Is So Little Little Angst For Queers As It Is?

15. The Catholic Taliban
Let's review

We now have:

1. Muslim Taliban
2. Christian Taliban
3. Jewish Taliban
4. Catholic Taliban

All the same, just different accents when they talk.
