Rat Pope: Same sex marriage and abortion most insidious and dangerous threats to society

Pope says gay marriage is 'insidious and dangerous'
The Pope condemned same sex marriage as a "dangerous and insidious" challenge to society in an address to half a million Catholic faithful.


Nick Squires in Fatima
Published: 7:00PM BST 13 May 2010

In a strongly worded attack, Benedict XVI insisted that marriage should be founded on the "indissoluble" marriage between a man and a woman.

Addressing a huge crowd at the shrine of Fatima at the climax of his four day visit to Portugal, the 83-year-old Pope said that same sex marriage and abortion were among the "most insidious and dangerous challenges that today confront the common good."


He expressed his "profound appreciation" for anti-abortion campaigners, who he praised for defending the right to life and the "recovery of people wounded by the drama of abortion".

The Vatican regards being homosexual as a "deviation" and an "irregularity" and the act of homosexual sex as a sin.

In December a leading Roman Catholic cardinal reinforced the message, saying that homosexuality was an "insult to God" and that homosexuals and transsexuals will never go to heaven.

In remarks which outraged gay rights groups, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, 76, claimed that people were not born homosexual, but chose to embrace homosexuality of their own free will.

6. Sorry Rotzi.
Religion is tops on my list of dangers to society.

I speak as a person raised in the Catholic church

I can't fathom where they--all religions--find this wellspring of hate.

As I always say, nobody hates like a Christian or lies like a repugnican.
