Pope Condemns Homosexual Unions As Dangerous to the Family
From "Pope blasts gay 'marriage' as perilous to family unit" (By Philip Pullella REUTERS NEWS AGENCY) Via The Washington Times
ROME -- Pope Benedict XVI, in his first clear pronouncement on homosexual "marriages" since his election, yesterday condemned same-sex unions as fake and "expressions of anarchic freedom" that threatened the future of the family.
...
"Today's various forms of dissolution of marriage, free unions, trial marriages as well as the pseudo-matrimonies between people of the same sex, are instead expressions of anarchic freedom which falsely tries to pass itself off as the true liberation of man," he said.
...
The pope, who headed the Vatican's doctrinal department for more than two decades before his elevation to the papacy, said "pseudo freedoms" such as homosexual "marriages" were based on what he called the "banalization of the human body" and of man himself.
Banalization, indeed. Trifle not with sacred things.
