Pope Calls Gay Rights "Ephemeral Social Trend"

Well, Gay folks have no friends at the Vatican. Pope Benedict XVI has launched a full-frontal attack on the rights of gay people just as he was about to depart for the Fatherland. In words that would fit well with the philosophy of another infamous German when he called Gay rights "an ephemeral social trend".

The comment came in a speech intended to influence democratic elections to be held across the US in November. He also castigated Canada for its moves toward equal rights for GLBT people.

Good to know that grace is not wasted in the Catholic Church, but rationed out to those favored by a man who was once a member of the Hitler Youth. You would think someone experiencing God’s grace after that kind of childhood would have more understanding of the true nature of God.
