See, the Pope draws the line at lynching. Give them man a medal…

What kind of a species treats their own offsping in this manner?

And they have the nerve to present this as an issue of moraity???

Really???

I always assumed they were pro-bill. But really, “if you’re not for us, you’re against us,” as Jesus said.

The Catholic Church is pretty much against all forms of violence–abortion, the death penalty, violence against homosexuals, violence against heterosexuals, violence against rodeo clowns, vegetarians, libertarians, communitarians, rotarians, etc.

Unlike the Boxturtle Bulletin, they don’t believe that killing a homosexual because he’s a homosexual is a more vicious crime than killing a homosexual drug dealer because you want to take his drugs. I’m talking about the phoney Mathew Shepard “hate crime” of course.

The Catholic Church is even against war, unless it rises to the “just war” standard, which is a pretty high bar to reach.

So why should the church take a stand on Uganda and its homosexual policy? Aren’t there some church and state issues here?

The Holy See continues to advocate that every sign of unjust discrimination towards homosexual persons should be avoided and urges States to do away with criminal penalties against them.

However, if you read the entire statement it is the Vatican’s policy not to affirm that anyone is homosexual and necessarily needs their rights protected. Yes, it’s a rather schizoid statement.

The Catholic Church sees no ‘right to homosexuality’ because it does not see the gay people as a subset of the ‘natural law’ human condition. Thus while it urges states to do away with criminalizing homosexuality, the Catholic Church see no need to make it the policy of the UN, thus giving the idea a weight in law. This gives the Church the freedom to speak out of both sides of its mouths and allow suffragean dioceses to compete with other Christians in countries such as Uganda to see who can be more homophobic.
