A Kinder Gentler Catholic Church

The Catholic bishops of the United States, faced with ongoing controversy over the church’s posture toward homosexuality, next month will vote on a proposal that would condemn “scorn and hatred” of gays and lesbians but would also declare that gay couples should not be allowed to marry or adopt children, that baptizing the children of same-sex couples presents “a pastoral concern,” and that the church has the right to deny “roles of service” to gays and lesbians who are not celibate.

Pure Catholic bullshit. People who want to say that denying gay couples a recognition of marriage or any social recognition, which is the core basis of what makes a “family”, or the ability to have children, are selling hatred.

To say that they condemn “scorn and hatred” of gays and lesbians is pure crap. This comes from a church who’s leader, the Pope, has called gays an “intrinsic moral evil”.
