Halibut Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Cardinal Keith O' Brien thinks so; he's also likened it to legalising slavery. I think he's talking nonsense. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica23 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Complete nonsense. I do look forward to the thousands of moderate Catholics who get so offended when you point out that their Church is a bigoted, corrupt mess of an institution making it clear that they disagree with him.

Ousetunes Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 They've got civil partnerships. Gay marriage makes a mockery of the word marriage. Then they expect to be able to 'marry' in a place of worship (which to believers means in the eyes of God) which is akin to defacating on the Bible as it clearly states such practices (same sex fornication) is an abomination. Still, expect a queue of enquiries to the Court of Human Rights if they don't get their way. Let's trash it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Sometimes I wonder whether the Catholic Church appoints these people deliberately to scupper the arguments of those who maintain that Islam is the most reactionary religion in the world.

Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to marry and share the same rights under the law as straight people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I refer to the opening paragraph: they've got civil partnerships. And yes, the Church (of all denominations) should think very hard before offering advice to all of us and ought to get its own house in order first. For the record and for clarity, I don't believe in 'gay marriage'. That's my choice and I am entitled to it. Have your partnerships, swap your rings and enjoy the first dance at your disco. No need to put the Do Not Disturb sign on your hotel room door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rights do straight people have, that gay couples don't have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered how long it would take someone to mention islam. Having said that, all religions are pretty much the same (backward, stupid, made up fairy stories made to keep stupid people in line) and none of them have any place in a civilised society. Gay, straight, who gives a damn? Oh, thats right, "god",,, apparently:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
