A church nativity scene featuring two mothers of the Baby Jesus instead of the conventional Mary and Joseph has sparked anger in Italy.
Nativity scenes are popular in the largely Catholic country, but in recent years they have been increasingly mired in culture wars as its society becomes more secular and multi-cultural.
The priest at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in Capocastello di Mercogliano, a hamlet in the province of Avellino about one hour’s drive east of Naples, has defended its depiction of the birth of Jesus.
“I wanted to show with this scene that families are no longer just the traditional ones,” said Father Vitaliano Della Sala.
“In our parishes we see more and more children from the new types of families that exist and are part of our society: children of separated and divorced people, gay couples, single people, young mothers.”

Ping
These perverted people are so sick...all they think about 24x7 is sex, sex, sex and more sex.
It must be awful to have that rule every second of every day throughout the year.
“But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.”
This is just unnecessary and stupid.
This is significant; its the end of Catholicism as we know it.............

whuuut ?
“modern families”
give birth to the only Son of GOD ?
hardly,
neither can a woman produce sperm to produce a child either.
We’ve survived emperors, horrible popes and the Protestant rebellion.
We’ll survive this and thrive. We’ll trim the weeds and throw them into the fire and start a new.
Vitaliano Della Sala need his ass kicked,then tarred and feathered.
That’ll teach him.
Jesus braided his own whip.
Ann Barnhardt laid out the hows and whys the Catholic Church was overrun with homosexual and pedophile priests.
“We’ll survive this and thrive. We’ll trim the weeds and throw them into the fire and start a new.”
There are two true races of man now.
Sheep and goats.
Listen for the Good Shepherds call and follow only him.

Merry Christmas
Don’t be silly
Jesus said:
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Gospel of Matthew. Ch 16.
For years one of my fantasies has been that the day will come when somebody will ask the rhetorical question, “Is the pope Catholic?”, and the correct answer will be “No.” It looks like that day is here.
The great apostacy.
The Pope is Catholic as is anyone who received the sacraments
Just like any Catholic who does not follow the Catechism there will be problems in his life but more importantly in his afterlife
As with all clergy who lead followers astray, or who fail to lead on the right path, he’ll to pay.
Why not two men? God could make one man have a baby—if he wanted too! BUT HE DIDN’T. Maybe God had a reason for all this?
Repulsive display of satanic influence on clergy.
Blasphemous.
Whatever faggot priest....
