Vatican Document on Homosexual Unions
Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race. The possibility of using recently discovered methods of artificial reproduction, beyond involving a grave lack of respect for human dignity,(15) does nothing to alter this inadequacy.

Unfortunetly he’s not Pope of California (that would be Nicholsen I). Ellen will marry her foxy actress friend, people will fight it, but Sodom has another run in the world.

They don’t care in the Proplrs Republic of Kalifornia where being queer is fashionable - if not preferred.

How long until folks call for his arrest? Who would have thought that stating something that is just common sense, for all religions, would ever become controversial

I don’t know if Villaraigosa (the mayor of LA who said he’s eager to “marry” gays) even goes to Mass, but if he does, I assume this means that he’s been warned. It will be interesting to see if Cdl Roger Dodger does anything about this or not.

The gays in Rome have already been calling for his arrest. Oh, that or his death.

In a very few years Catholics churches will be picketed, Catholics’ with businesses boycotted, and churches denied buidling permits because of their “hate”.
It’s coming, get ready.

Like others have said, it'll be interesting to see if Mahony has any response to L.A.’s CINO mayor who said he would officiate homosexual marriages.
I've already emailed the mayor & reminded him of Romans 1:24-32...of course I'm assuming he actually has a Bible; although who knows how long its been since he actually sat down and read it.

Roger Dodger I hadn't heard that moniker before but it makes me think of Tommy Lasorda's (now Joe Torre's) blue headgear with a bill in place of the scarlet skullcap.

"The Popes response to the Left Coast." Thanks for the ping to this article/thread. I think this answers "ElPatriota" sufficiently. And it's a quicker turn-around than I expected from the Vatican bureaucracy.

Imagine the future scenarios for those of us teaching in Catholic schools:
*no more mentioning that acceptance of homosexuality in ancient Greece caused its proliferation
*no more encouraging teens to remain chaste, off the pill, and saving themselves for husband/wife/children
*an extremely careful wording of the Catechism, and Bible references, as attorneys dictate that we avoid discussions of homosexuality
*"parents" of these "unions" demanding full acceptance, etc. for their "children" now enrolled

The Catholic Church has survived and multiplied for 2000 years; I seriously doubt Our Lord Jesus Christ will allow a few thousand homosexuals much less the entire U.S.A. or the entire world for that matter prevent His Church and/or His children from continuing to grow until the end of the world.

gosh, the brilliant legal origami from the CA Supremes didn’t convince him to overthrow 5800 years of civilization and endorse a gender-free society where we are all just homo sapiens who are interchangable and free of identity beyond the tattoos we choose to undergo?
I guess I should be surprised considering what a rational argument that sounds like on MSNBC......

Absolutely. The lights of perverted science may improve on Diocletian’s gridiron, but Christ will be with us. Amen +
