Well, I don't believe the pope has anything to worry about when it comes to shortage of people. There are always teenage parents, who even think of aborting or adoption. So, heaven forbid that there are homosexual couples who adopt, and accept children into a loving environment because they cannot reproduce with each other.
Yeah, never mind to all those people in china and the fact that we're killing our planet beacsue more and more people are arriving to this earth and we need to make more room.
Never mind that when most homosexuals adopt they take in children who need a loving home. Yes homosexuals are destroying the human race!
I'd also just like to say to everyone who said that he has no right to say this or whatever and who says that it's ridiculous, how would you feel when someone mocked your religious beliefs and said you had no right to voice them?
You wouldn't like it.
I'm not saying he was right to say it, but he's got a right to voice his beliefs so just think before you say things like that.
I agree with Audrey T.
It's not like this is surprising in any way, but it is a little ignorant.
The part about the extinction of the human race was particularly stupid. It's not as if everyone is going to become gay and stop reproducing all together.
Like I said though, it's not really surprising and I found the quote from the Gay Christian Movement about left-handedness particularly funny because the Catholic church used to think that left-handedness was Satanic.
Sums it all up really.
Popes always say contraversial things, it doesn't reflect the opinions of all Catholics and all Catholics opinions don't reflect his. Just leave them alone.
Oh please, as if we need anymore people in the world! I think that we need to brong down our numbers and this is were the homs-people come in... They're the cool ones! Plus isn't there something in the bible about how god loves ALL his children despit anything they do??? The Pope should shut his mouth and smile pretty like all other power heads, thye don't do much for their causes either way.
And extiction??? We are way more like to kill ourselves through a nuclear war than by no kids. Plus isn't the human the 'ultimate machine'?Then if everyone in the world turns homo then I believe they'll be some out their how are smart enough to get together with another home group (EX. 2 gays + 2 les) and have kids amoung the four of them! See we're not that stupid you damb pope.
Oh the joys of religion leaders... So miss informed... I would laugh so harshlike if one his children(If he has any) Turn out to be homosexuals.
Its a case of homosexuals are against religious teachings, but if you look.. Say in a school reunion, there will be more non-homosexuals than the other, so its a case of people not keeping their eyes/minds open to the basic facts.
xD Thats my acting intelligent for the day over!
x
yup, this vastly overpopulated world is gonna be destroyed by the boys who love boys and girls who love girls...
and um, if reproduction is such a big 'issue' why don't they just encourage premarital sex? I mean, if kids were getting knocked up so early like they were back in the old days we'd have no issue would we?
If gays are going to cause problems 'reproducing', then what about religious folk WHO CANT HAVE SEX???? DUH. Their supporting something that their condeming - low rate of reproduction!!
Oh, thats a new classic! Haha Rainbow=Jesus having gay sex XD
I'm all for gay rights, despite the fact I'm straight. Everyone deserves to be with the one they love, whether its a guy or girl. And the whole religion versus gay rights? Hang it up religioun, you're not gonna win.
No one can change, so they should just get the f**k
over it.
Also, as if young gay or lesbian people don't
feel unfomfortable as it is.
This pisses me off so bad.
If they don't like it, they should just sit in a room
with their fingers in their ears humming
nursery rhymes believing the world is perfect.
Why don't they focus on people dying in wars or something.
The world is pretty much screwed anyways. Adding homosexuals to the list of reasons why we're screwed is like adding just one more pine needle to an evergreen tree. Hahahahahahahaha ok that analogy was stupid, but seriously. There are about a billion reasons why the earth is doomed. I personally don't think this reason is that valid, but its certainly not shocking. Live and let live, I say. If the homosexual population is screwing us over too, who cares? We can't do anything about it.
ok people please do NOT think all Roman Catholics think like this. i am Roman Catholic and i have NO problem with Gay/ Homosexual people. i actually have a lot of gay friends. do not think that just because he says this that all catholics believe it... thanks
I believe the pope should have no right to say that. Homosexuality will destry mankind?? I highly doubt that. I say let them do what they want to do...itz not bothering anyone.
