Pope calls gay marriage an 'attack on creation'
By Jessica Geen • January 11, 2010 - 12:17

Pope Benedict XVI has called gay marriage laws an "attack" on the natural differences between men and women.

Speaking just after Portugal's parliament voted to legalise same-sex marriage, the pontiff addressed the comments to the Vatican diplomatic corps in a message which focused on environmental issues.

This is not the first time he has used environmental messages to preach about the sins of gay people.

In an end-of year address in 2008, he said that the existence of gay people threatens humanity as much as the destruction of the rainforests does and that "blurring" genders through acceptance of transgender people would kill off the human race.

According to AFP, he spoke about protecting or endangering creatures including humans in today's address and said: "One such attack comes from laws or proposals which, in the name of fighting discrimination, strike at the biological basis of the difference between the sexes."

He cited "certain countries in Europe or North and South America", which is assumed to mean Portugal and Mexico City, which legalised gay marriage last month.

The Pope is due to visit the Catholic country of Portugal in April, a month after a law allowing gay marriage is expected to come into force.

He is also expected to visit the UK this year, and humanist groups have already announced their plans to protest.

Similar demonstrations were held when Pope John Paul II visited Britain in 1982.

In March, the Pope provoked anger when he spoke out about his view on HIV.

While on a flight to Africa in March, he told journalists that condoms "aggravate" the problem of HIV. He was roundly condemned for the statement, while respected medical journal The Lancet demanded that he retract the comments.

The Pope has previously counselled that abstinence is the only way to counter the spread of the disease.

Nasty old bugger...

Canute like, he and his ilk are vainly trying to stop the remorseless flow of the Zeitgeist as it slowly washes away the meaningless debris of a repressive age.

Oh, far better to repress, manipulate, pervert and otherwise impose dogmatic oppression on humanity through their sexuality.

I have never subscribed to the view that theists are ipso facto insane/cretins, but the above quote makes it quite difficult for me not to regard Ratzinger as precisely that. You would have to be if you

(a) imagine that acceptance of transgender people would kill off the human race (the absurdity is palpable)

and

(b) hope that your audience will regard the vomit you extrude as wisdom because you are The Pope.

Going off at a bit of a tangent, this fuckwittery is supreme proof that Papal infallibility - the dogma (created in 1870) that the Pope is preserved from even the possibility of error when he solemnly declares or promulgates a dogmatic teaching on faith or morals - is nonsense of the first water.

Pope Benedict XVI has called gay marriage laws an "attack" on the natural differences between men and women.
He is the one who is really attacking the natural differences between men and women.
Speaking just after Portugal's parliament voted to legalise same-sex marriage, the pontiff addressed the comments to the Vatican diplomatic corps in a message which focused on environmental issues.

This is not the first time he has used environmental messages to preach about the sins of gay people.
Since when did not sticking your cock up another man's arse lessen your carbon footprint?
In an end-of year address in 2008, he said that the existence of gay people threatens humanity as much as the destruction of the rainforests does and that "blurring" genders through acceptance of transgender people would kill off the human race.
For such a disgustingly warped, malevolent piece of hateful propaganda the Vatican should face international sanctions.
According to AFP, he spoke about protecting or endangering creatures including humans in today's address and said: "One such attack comes from laws or proposals which, in the name of fighting discrimination, strike at the biological basis of the difference between the sexes."
"Striking" at the biological basis? What does that mean? Happy slapping dicks? Catapulting Ferro Rocher (unwrapped) into pussys? Putting more pain receptors in the skin of males? Taking some away from women? What the fuck's the problem anyway? If the stupid old cunt accepts that we are the product of evolution he must also accept that our ancient ancestors reproduced asexually - why no word about that drastic change in sexual biology? - why can't his stupid fucking god make his mind up how he wants us to get jiggy?
He cited "certain countries in Europe or North and South America", which is assumed to mean Portugal and Mexico City, which legalised gay marriage last month.
Just come out and name them you fucking coward, or is international diplomacy more important than your god?
The Pope is due to visit the Catholic country of Portugal in April, a month after a law allowing gay marriage is expected to come into force.
Why not go there now and march through the streets with your followers with anti-gay placards? Stop hiding behind your pulpit and the broadsheet papers and come out and show your real tabloid scum views to the world in all their glory.
He is also expected to visit the UK this year, and humanist groups have already announced their plans to protest.
Good old Britain. :clap:

Another cunt.

Is there no end to the dangerous lies this despicable evolved primate will come out with to add to the misery of his fellow creatures?

It's also a good way to stop reproducing and die as a species altogether. Or perhaps the fucker had an anti-Damascene moment and was referring to organised religion.

Motherfucker.

He appeals to the status quo. He is elected by a community who prefer tradition. Illicit power and control through fear, the necessity for pennance and retribution. Act not surprised, my children, the lord hath not found progressive thought to his liking.

The conservative wing of the church has the numbers, and know where the bodies are buried.

The liberal catholics are not ruthless enough to win the political game...
