Reply #131: Finally found the ACTUAL "Speech" of the Pope on this matter [View All]

First it is a quick pray involving the Third Station of the Cross (For you non-Catholic out there, the 12 stations of the Cross is the Traditional 12 points in Christ's Crucification).

The Stations of the Cross From the Vatican and the comments to each station (Written by the Secretary of State of the Vatican NOT the Pope, but the statements did have the Pope's approval):

To get anti-gay out of such a Short statement, means someone is reading to much into to little:

PRAYER
Lord,
we have lost our sense of sin!
Today a slick campaign of propaganda
is spreading an inane apologia of evil,
a senseless cult of Satan,
a mindless desire for transgression,
a dishonest and frivolous freedom,
exalting impulsiveness, immorality and selfishness
as if they were new heights of sophistication.

Lord Jesus,
open our eyes:
let us see the filth around us
and recognize it for what it is,
so that a single tear of sorrow
can restore us to purity of heart
and the breadth of true freedom.
Open our eyes,
Lord, Jesus!

This goes along with the First Station for people to protect the weak,and attacks people condemning people, the Second station which ask God to give people Humility and the Fourth Station (Where Christ meets his mother) to pray for all women in the world.

If you are going to attack the Pope, do it on what he says NOT what you interpret him to be saying.
