GAY ITALIANS DEFY VATICAN POWER



Muslim fury at Pope Benedict XVI over
his comments on Islam has overshadowed
another sensitive issue involving the
Vatican - the question of gay rights in Italy. :eyes:

In Rome not just gay Italians but also many religious heterosexuals see that stance as unnecessarily intolerant.
Naples bank director Dario Re and his accountant partner Giuseppe Archiletti said: "In Italy, gay rights are not an issue of right or left - it's about how much power the Vatican has over Italian politics".



My oh my.....the Holy Father is making "friends" throughout the world, isn't he?
He sounds a lot like Bush <-- , which is frankly,quite disturbing.

No offense to practicing Catholics who still harbor some hope this RAT(zinger) will turn out to be more John Paul and less what we are seeing to date...
