[history]
THE head of Italy's bishops has outraged the gay community by comparing a Bill that would grant rights to same-sex couples to allowing incest and pedophilia.
Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, who was appointed last month to head the Italian Bishops Conference, is leading the Church's campaign against the legislation which the Vatican says would weaken the institution of marriage.

We Catholics understand the link between homosexuality and pederasty better than anyone else, having been afflicted with a scourge of homo-pederast priests.
Even according to the Jay Report put out by the US Bishop's council--who did everything in their power to cover up the homo aspects to the sex abuse scandal--some +80% of the cases involved priests with boys.
Only a brainwashed idiot--or someone who is covertly on the side of the abusers--doesn't see the connection.

If everyone on this thread equates gays with perversion, why not ask him to clean his house first. Just how many gays are there in the Catholic church anyway? Quite a lot.
Exactly. How do you think we know so much about the problem? We've been dealing with it longer than most institutions. The homo-activist types insinuated themselves upon us first...

the key sentence....
“Archbishop Bagnasco was merely illustrating the fact that family policy cannot be guided simply by public opinion.”
It comes down to the definition of “family” and whether or not that definition can change.
To: jstassis
there are certain cardinals and bishops who wouldn’t touch this issue with a ten foot pole for obvious reasons.
You can tell the ones who really believe in Church teaching as compared to those who don’t by incidents such as this.
To: Scotswife; wagglebee
It comes down to the definition of family and whether or not that definition can change. It seems there is a growing movement to not only redefine the word "family" but also "who" constitutes a family.
The British woman who wants to adopt a chimpanzee, Paula Stibbe, says the animal was abducted from its family tribe in West Africa 25 years ago. It now lives in an animal sanctuary that is about to close, and she wants to prevent it from being sold to a zoo by persuading a court to grant the same protection as a child.

In a couple of minutes I'm going to post an article about either this bishop or another one needing bodyguards because of telling the truth. Also, note some telling information down the thread. Slippery slope has turned into a screaming nosedive.

If they restricted themselves to screaming and prancing, it would be an improvement. You mean you've seen the simulated sex acts too? In days gone by, that behavior would have got people arrested for lewd and lascivious acts in public. But if it's a parade, it's protected free speech. I call it disgusting. /sheesh
