I think even big Nancy Nichols will be out of her depth on this one. I mean, who would actually pray to St Pius and for what exactly? Maybe patron saint of big thick glasses, perhaps. All the best.

Well said. Word is the pontiff is feeling more and more isolated. No wonder. The parish priests around here are feeling isolated too and hard put to explain the pontifical blunders.

The Roman Catholic Empire is well known for it's anti-family, anti-children, anti-society views. People just need to continue waking up, and stop supporting that country (yes - the Vatican State is a recognized country with embassies (Sees) throught the world!) It is a country - not a faith.

I used to be a trainee-priest in a seminary. I found all these little old ladies coming up to me and hanging on my every word as if I was some kind of holy man, someone with wisdom. I knew what I was: I was a queer who couldn't face the fact and I run away into a seminary to hide from having to have any kind of sexual relationship with anybody. The other seminarians were all the same. We all knew it. We all knew any healthy young man was out there drinking and screwing and being normal!

Gay couples has never had the opportunity to prove themselves as adoptive parents until very resently. Moreover, what's wrong with creating new norms,morals and laws? It is exactly that which drive society forward and set better and improved standards, the opportunity to learn from past mistakes and set things right. It is exactly the granting of equal rights that done away with racist policies, that abolished slavery, it is equality that played a major role in outlawing capital punishment. The list can go on. Like always it is the catholic leaders and their stern followers that stagnate in progress and always the last to admit their mistakes long after everyone else has moved on. I shared a house with three priests the first six months after moving to the U.K and all three of them at some point tip-toed to my bedroom in the middle of the night!To see them the next Sunday in holiness supporting anti gay issues was a real eye opener.What is immoral and just plain stupid in my humble opinion is that its expected of these men to act against their natural urges as human beings and advise other on matters they themself have no authority or clue about, god this is so old school its boring to the bone.
