By me apparently.

Too bloody true if your "faith" is stigmatising people on the basis of their situation.

I think we are about two posts away from society's problems being the fault of "liberals" and people being forced into a gay agenda.

As I have stopped letting myself be disgusted by him, I am capable of enjoying reading his outbursts. Snag is, what if you were reading Akenhateon for the first time? Not a nice prospect for unsuspecting decent people.

The issues for any religious body go far deeper than trying to adapt to the times though. I suppose this Pope is trying to save his church in the western world by moving the emphasis towards being servant of his flock not master.

The issue of sex outside of marriage is always going to be a thorny issue. After all, any perceived taboo element just makes the prospect more exciting for most people. In addition, opposing sex outside of marriage and not wanting gay people to be married is a bit of a double whammy. If the many gay Catholics feel they belong, the theologians need to reconcile the catch 22 which at present puts such people in a position only bigoted beasts would welcome.
