(For the record, I'm not Catholic.) CNN really ought to be ashamed. What he ACTUALLY wrote was, "It is legitimate and necessary to ask oneself if this is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and against man."<br /><br />I couldn't agree more. It is both legitimate and necessary to ask this question, but simply asking the question does not imply the answer. Asking in faith will lead us to the truth. And in fact, any rational person can clearly see that there really is an ideology of evil at play here, wrapped in the rhetoric of righteousness, pitting human rights against those of the family; what force other than evil could possibly bring these two ideals into opposition?<br /><br />It is true that the Pope is opposed to same-sex marriage, but to say that he said gays are "evil" is categorically wrong.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524483460829802534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-1109190190824158972005-02-23T15:23:00.000-05:002005-02-23T15:23:00.000-05:00How can anyone expect sensible modern thinking fro...How can anyone expect sensible modern thinking from a 2,000 year old man? Besides the fact you cannot understand him anyway since his lower jaw dropped off in the early eighties.
