Catholic Cruelty: Cardinal Raymond Burke, responding to recent reports that Pope Francis approves of civil unions for gay people, argues that, according to God, gays have no right to “form families.”
I think there's enough evidence that gay folk have been forming families since recorded history...before most of the popular religions of today even existed.
No natural right, that's for sure. Maybe by adoption, but why should the cardinal have any qualms about adopting a starving pathetic kid?
I guess the Cardinal is now in trouble with the Pope, who says otherwise.
The man is demented. No sane person should accept what he says.
Soon to be excommunicated, i presume...defying the Pope?!!?
Yes, there seems to be lots of backlash from the conservatives - elaborate, picky contortions that argue that what you heard the pope say is not what he meant, that the letter of the law still says gays are bad and will destroy "anthropologically proven" (sounds scientific to me!) marriage between a man and a woman. (Are gay people responsible for all the hetero divorces in our society? Psychic vibrations or something?)
But priests have the right to fuck anyone they want.
