U.S. sodomy lobby attacks Pope Benedict XVI

New York's Gov. Al Smith not only opposed Prohibition, but in 1928 he became the first Roman Catholic ever nominated by a major party to be president.

This resulted in some of America's worst anti-Catholic expressions of bigotry – including a rumor that Gov. Smith was planning to invite the pope to make an extended visit in order to supervise the conversion of this nation to a Roman Catholic country.

When Gov. Smith lost to Herbert Hoover by 444 to 87 electoral votes, he had the good sense of humor and sportsmanship to announce that he had just sent a one-word cable to the pope: "Unpack."

Now, within hours of the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pope Benedict XVI, this new pope has been attacked by at least four of America's Sodomy Lobby:

* The "Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbian And Gays (PFLAG) stated that the new pope does not represent a hopeful vision of the future ... He authored a Vatican document condemning marriage and adoption by gay men and lesbians in July 2003."

The Washington Blade (a Washington, D.C., homosexual newspaper) described the document as "a battle plan for Catholic politicians". (Think of that – a "battle plan"! Will the new pontiff come to the United States – as rumored in 1928 – to help Catholic politicians like Sen. Kerry win the battle?)

* The Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation "is calling on the nation's media to examine Ratzinger's documented rhetoric and writings related to gays and lesbians ... In documents dating back to the 1980's, Ratzinger has branded gays and lesbians as 'objectively disordered' and being gay as a 'moral disorder' requiring a 'conversion from evil.' He has accused gay and lesbian parents of 'doing violence to their children' and he has denounced laws protecting same-sex couples and families as 'the approval or legalization of evil.'"

(Question: Did GLAAD learn all this in the two days since Cardinal Ratzinger's election? Or isn't it far more probable that they have been researching him – as the enemy – for years, in order to produce an extensive documentary of denunciation even before he is installed?)

* The deceptively titled "Human Rights Campaign" (which really ought to be honest enough to change that title to "Sodomy Rights Campaign") stated the following: "We hope Pope Benedict XVI will follow the biblical tradition of expressing love and compassion for all."

Where in the Holy Bible is there any verse expressing approval of the act of sodomy? In the New Testament, Jesus Christ, speaking to those who offend little children (and what is more offensive than child molesting?) said: "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than he should offend one these little ones" (Luke 2:17).

The "Human Rights Campaign" also noted: "In 1986, Cardinal Ratzinger in a letter to the Catholic bishops, wrote: 'Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil.'"

* The Rainbow Sash Movement wrote that they were "deeply disappointed with the choice of Cardinal Ratzinger as pope. We had hoped for a pastor and shepherd, instead we get a doctrinal enforcer." This statement goes on to declare: "We remind our fellow Catholics that we are the Church ... The Rainbow Sash Movement will continue to call for openness, toleration and inclusion in the Church."

(Question: Have Rainbow Sash or any of these other three organizations made any statement that there should be marriage for other sexual orientations, such as necrophilia, sadomasochism or bestiality?)

It was rather disagreeably hasty for these four groups to attack the new pope so quickly. But all of their attacks are a badge of honor for this moral leader, who was so quickly elected to lead what is by far Christianity's largest denomination.

>>>>>Orientation and what the individual does with it is a choice. We (the public) have allowed everything to become sexual in nature. One advertisement for a male sexual enhancer says: Sex is an important part of every relationship. THAT is a LIE straight from he!!. SEX has NOTHING to do with EVERY relationship. It's only a PART of the marital relationship. But society has convinced us that "SEX" is an important part of EVERY relationship.

You are exactly right. The push for "gay rights" is just part of the wider assault on the virtue of chastity.
