Tut-tut, Tutu.

[litehaus]

AND, since they gave a prize to Yessir Iamfat, will TUTU return his prize?

[petkus]

Tutu should get together with Cardinal Mahoney.

What is Tutu's position on gay priest who fool around with little Boys?

What is Tutu's position on gay priest who fool around with little Boys?

Gay priests do not "fool around with little boys." Their victims are almost exclusively gay teenagers. The "pedophilia" construct is a liberal conspiracy against a Church which stands for everything the drive-by media opposes.

Anglicans are tradional not social engineering secularists. If he can't hack it the way its been for hundreds of years then he can go to some other church that ordains gays and lesbians so he won't be ashamed.

lol. "Desmond Tutu". He really should be the international Figurehead of the new-age Episcopalian movement. Nonetheless, his is a book I shall not waste my time with. It's subtitle should read: Politics rules the Church. Oh My! Back to the days of pre-Magna Carta England, shall we? not.

[Darnright]

>"He found it little short of outrageous that church leaders should be obsessed with issues of sexuality in the face of the challenges of AIDS

'Scuse Me????????

[sheik yerbouty]

Some Anglicans think that Desmond Tutu made them ashamed to be Anglican!

[bobjam]

Perhaps His Grace, the retired Archbishop of South Africa, can explain why the Biblical admonishions against racism and classism that he used against apartheid should be followed to the letter, but the Biblical admonishions concerning homosexal behavior should be ignored completely.

[the invisib1e hand]

hmm. anyone remember asking him?

[BelegStrongbow]

What I can't understand is what is his point in all this? What possible good can come from inverts, in or out of clerical garb?

Besides, if he is retired, then his opinion isn't even worth considering as advice.

Sad, sad, sad.

[cardinal4]

Tutu is one of "them".

[Obadiah]

Therefore, Archbishop, by way of syllogism, you are ashamed of the Bible and the author of it.

[wideawake]

Ah yes, I remember when the courageous Archbishop fasted for an entire 24 hours in 1986 to protest apartheid.

What an incredible feat.

Tutu also said he was deeply saddened at the furor caused by the appointment of openly gay V. Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire in 2003. "He found it little short of outrageous that church leaders should be obsessed with issues of sexuality in the face of the challenges of AIDS and global poverty," wrote Allen.

How can the challenges of AIDS and global poverty be removed from sexuality?

[Liberty Valance]

Don't mess with my toot-toot!

Catholicism teaches that homosexuality is wrong. Get over it. It's clearly stated in the Bible, so why does everyone act shocked and ashamed when they hear about it?
