Apparently Michael is having difficulty with the fact that the Vatican's opinion's only apply to those who chose to be Catholic. Either that or his own homosexual self-loathing inspired this article.

I like the Catholics stand on Homosexuals and Pedophilia, Now if they would place actions where their words are and dump Homosexual and Pedophile Priests we would be in complete agreement.

All any journalist has to do is a simple search on official Church documents, like the following, and then read, in order to get the Vatican’s stance on any of these matters.

On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons
Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
October 1, 1986

Where does the Islamist Human Rights Council stand on freedom of religion in muslim ruled nations? Such as the Saudi government seizing and burning Christian Bibles? Death penalty for any non-muslims who'd dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina?

Some "human rights" council.

“...for the world to tolerate bigotry and intolerance towards the gay and lesbian community.”

Since when is a phobia bigotry? Intolerance, maybe, but not bigotry. If I have claustrophobia, I’m intolerant of closed places. If I have agoraphobia, I’m intolerant of open spaces. But bigotry? No.

I think the term “homophobia” as applied by those who oppose it is a bastardization of the concept of phobias and should not be used, but if they want to use it then they should treat it like other phobias.

The United Nations should do more to rid itself of perverts who exploit woman and children for sexual slavery.

THOSE are human rights being wronged.

Love the lib use of the “phobia” appendage.

IMHO, I’m not phobic if I’m repulsed by the thought of fudge packing.

(Doesn’t stop me from knowing and liking homosexuals...but it’s still gross. Period.)

I’d think a number of religious groups would oppose the UN resolution inasmuch as it encroaches on that religion’s right to enforce standards of conduct on its adherents in order to remain in good standing. Where Are The Moose? These are about the only ones that answer homosexual relations with violence today. One would think this would bring about a brouhaha over Islam, but no! Instead churches, which are much laxer and forgiving, are being drubbed on.

In checking out the author of this piece it says: Michael Stone is a freethinker and freelance writer residing in beautiful Portland, Oregon. As the National Humanist Examiner, Michael's concern is the place where politics and religion intersect. The task is to promote civil rights and the separation of church and state; to explore and expose religious bigotry, oppression and discrimination; to promote reason and eschew superstition and dogma. You can contact Michael at mstonemat@gmail.com.

In other words Mr Stone believes that the only valid opinion is his. Too bad he's wrong.

"As the National Humanist Examiner. . ."

Is that an elected or appointed (or self-anointed) position? Whichever, its bearer certainly doesn't lack for pompous, solipsistic self-aggrandizement, does he?

Are these people stupid? What is all this hooker and pimp talk from the left? The Vatican helps prostitutes and gays and displays affection to gays for condemning this perverted satan and animalistic baiting human rights charter glorifying sex abuse covered up by drugs, misleading emotions, body pleasure and a biscuit.

The Catholic Church in its teachings follows reasonable scholarship,concluding Christian faith cannot advocate homosexual relationship or marriage. The entire Bible, in speaking of the character, identity, and purpose of God, continuously addresses the issue of homosexual behavior. The scriptures say that in addition to creating all things, God created a single institution, which was marriage between a man and woman as the earthy manifestation of the oneness of relationship He seeks with all human beings. Any arguments from the scriptures including the catechism must move forward from that foundation.

Throughout the Bible He is spoken of as masculine, and all humans become feminine in relation to Him; become the Bride of Christ. To restore relationship lost in Eden, God sent Christ to die for all human sins, but people must repent of, reject all their sins. To pursue sexual sin including fornication, adultery, or homosexual behavior is to reject His identity and His character, and therefore repudiate His gift of salvation enabling relationship with Him.

In Him absolute righteousness and absolute love achieves perfect justice. The scriptures provide no prescription or no equivalent of a legal “safe haven” for this issue. Humans are left with a moral paradox requiring them to come before Him in faith. His solution compromises neither His righteousness, nor His unconditional love in guiding each person who lives in a fallen world, and struggles with aspects of a fallen nature which may include falling into a trap of homosexual behavior.

Others may construct apologetics for homosexual relationship or marriage by using comforting social justice homilies to weave together selected Old and New Testament scriptures, but these are intellectually flawed approaches. Jesus’ teachings are prophecies about life based on relationship in Him, and not prescriptions of behavior standards to gain admittance to His Kingdom of Heaven. In advocating homosexual relationships, Christian leaders must abandon sound scholarship to fabricate a god of their own design. The result is comforting, popular, and easily controlled.

C. S. Lewis knew that the Christian God was not a tame lion. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob remains timeless, all knowing, all powerful, terrible, unconditionally loving, and awaits humanity’s plea to Him.

Sodomy nazis invented the word “homophobe” to disparage and prevent rational thinking on same-sex attraction disorder.

What sodomites really want in our society is affirmation—enthusiastic endorsement—and they don’t care if it comes at the point of a gun. There is a reason that they seem compelled to broadcast their practice of sodomy to the entire world, with stickers, flags, marches, indoctrination of children, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It’s not about rights: that’s just boob-bait for liberal bubbas. What they really want is for every single human being to applaud, pat them on the back, and tell them how strong and great they are for being sodomites, whenever and wherever they prance in and commence to swan about. They want to thrust their perversion into the face of each individual resident of planet Earth, and be met with nothing but compliments and homage. Not even that will make them happy, though, as they’ll still have to deal with their awareness of the disordered nature of their behavior.
