Pope Benedict XVI warned mankind about the gay marriage polluting and deteriorating the world. Gay marriage is one of a number of threats to a family unit that holds the potential to destroy “the future of humanity itself.”
During an address to diplomats from nearly 180 nations, the pope discussed the importance of education and the need to reinforce the traditional man and wife setting. This was one of the strongest comments the pope ever said about gay marriage.
"This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society. Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself," he said.
The Roman Catholic Church, which has some 1.3 billion members worldwide, teaches that while homosexual tendencies are not sinful, homosexual acts are, and that children should grow up in a traditional family with a mother and a father.
Gay marriage is legal in a number of European countries, including Spain and the Netherlands.
Some Churches that have allowed gay marriage, women priests, gay clergy and gay bishops have been losing members to Catholicism, and the Vatican has taken steps to facilitate their conversion.
MY VIEWS.
I’m a single, heterosexual man. If one day I get married and get special rights that would be nice. But why not give those special rights to those who love their own kind?
Married couples support each other, raise their children patiently, help each other financially, clean The house together, stay faithful and of course, love and respect each other. But here’s the thing, don’t gay and lesbian couples that are living together do those things as well? They absolutely do, right?.
The only difference is that married couples signed a piece of paper making their marriage legal and vows legit. And as married couple, they have special rights.
What the LGBT community want is to have the same rights as well. They are not there to change your beliefs and complicate your life. All they really want is equality. They have no intentions to change your ways.
You never know how many gay and lesbians you talk to everyday. That guy you always see on the bus might be in a long term relationship with another man and living happily. Those couple of women you see on a bar that rejects every man approaching them might be lovers for quite some time now.
You probably view same sex marriage as not a normal thing to do but normal is just a view of one person to the world. Your view of normal might be abnormal to another. If you take the bible and god out of your argument what do you really have left? Not much really, just your view of normal
