US Embassy at the Vatican Displays Homosexual Pride Flag

Homosexual acts are considered grave sins by the Catholic Church, whose center is the Vatican. It has also taught for millennia that pride is the worst of the seven deadly sins.

VATICAN CITY, June 1, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The United States Embassy to the Holy See is flying a colorful flag this month, but it’s not Old Glory. Today the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican announced over Twitter that it is celebrating “Pride Month” by exhibiting the bright rainbow stripes of the gay liberation movement.

Tweeting a photo of the flag hanging from the balcony of its building in Rome, an Embassy representative wrote, “The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See celebrates #PrideMonth with the Pride flag on display during the month of June. The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTQI+ people. LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.”

Not only are homosexual sex acts considered grave sins by the Catholic Church, whose earthly leader Pope Francis is also the monarch of Vatican City. The Catholic Church has also taught for millennia that pride is the worst of the seven deadly sins.

The U.S. Embassy to the Holy See is not itself in Vatican City, but in the same compound as the U.S. Embassy to the Italian Republic on the Aventine Hill in Rome, near the exclusive Via Veneto. Nevertheless, the choice to fly a flag representing sexual licence in the face of the Vatican may seem undiplomatic.

American Catholic children's author John McNichol told LifeSiteNews that he believes flying the pride flag is a blatant show of disrespect for the Catholic Church.

Because it’s the official policy of the US Department of State. You will recall this started under Trump, though he made them stop.

They are flying the wrong flag. The gay flag has only 6 colors.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe a queer flag has only six colors, and the one pictured has seven...🤔

Romans 1:18-32 explains why. People have increasingly abandoned the knowledge of the Lord.

The US is rapidly ascending the list of Satan’s favorite nations. This won’t end well.

They are flying it at all U.S. embassies, and it is an affront to anyone who holds to traditional morality. Our government is an embarrassment at best, and none of my patriotism has anything to do with it.
