Pope Defends Traditional Families as Spanish Gays Hold 'Kiss-In'

Gerald · 11-07-10, 09:09 AM

BARCELONA, Spain -- Pope Benedict XVI strongly defended traditional families and the rights of the unborn Sunday, directly attacking Spanish laws that allow gay marriage, fast-track divorce and easier abortions as he dedicated Barcelona's iconic church, the Sagrada Familia.

It was the second time in as many days that Benedict had criticized the policies of Spain's Socialist government and called for Europe as a whole to rediscover Christian teachings and apply them to everyday life.

this is the problem with special interest groups.

they want so badly for everyone to know they are "special" that they will do anything to draw attention to themselves.

a "Kiss-In"?

seriously?

what exactly is the point?

im serious, what - is - the - point?

who cares?

In some people's eyes, this could be perceived controversial, not because I have taken note of the substance, (apart from posting) but it's about more than just 'Kiss-In when in some countries it is customary to greet someone with a kiss on hand, and now he goes out in public with the vatican and see probably not take kindly

Great way to protest - gets the point across without violence or negativity.

They have learned to hide their feelings

A large ostentatious church? Trying to push their agenda?

Seriously?

What's the point?

This "group" wants attention,that's all!

Maybe the Pope should just admit that he's kinda turned on by the whole steamy affair.

Betonov · 11-07-10, 11:50 AM

yea sure, sometimes they go over the top with their ''we are gay and proud'' so it borders on distastefull, but I agree with them and their rights. And the level of secularisation achieved by the spanish is something to be proud of. Doing what the pope wants on national levels is idiotism

I wish gay activists would stop with their narcisstic self-dramatisation, and the church would stop claiming powers that it does not deserve.

When a pope talks about protection of family values (I'm all for prioritizing families due to their overwhelming importance for the scoial community's future), he is not so much aboit family interests, but powerinterests of the church and the control it wants to have over people, and the status it claims for itself in society. And when gay activists launch another CSD or a Kiss-in or a nude parade, they are not about civil rights and equality, but their very own little climax of the day, and enjoying to be naughty in public without the public being allowed to express disgust. That's such a kick!

The church and it's orders are not holy. And there is no explicit reason for gay "pride", there is no merit in being gay (or hetero - it is like your skin colour: some have this colour, others have that - what's there to be "proud" of?). Both religion and sexual orientation should be left where it belongs - inside people's private chamber.

So will both of you two freaks, gay activists and church alike, stop annoying the vast majorit of us, please!

And btw, dear Mr. Ratzinger, a figure that still condemns the containing of HIV by using condoms, and still is committed to increasing the biggest crime in human history - pushing global population explosion and all the miserable suffering that it causes by the hundreds of millions every year - has not the smallest moral authority himself to lecture others about moral values.

There are just two groups exercising their freedom of speech, nothing more, nothing less, can't see any sensational stuff going on here.
One group is dressed like freaks, shows weird behaviour and defend perverted values - the other group just does some kissing in the streets...

Gerald · 11-08-10, 06:24 AM

This was about the Pope and the Vatican's outstretched hand and not some freaks, but nothing to raise the eyes
