In this day and age, how can you hide something behind a translation ? Associated Press: Vatican alters draft report translation about gays
The Catholic Church is very silly about somethings including gay people and contraception. I think that it's very nasty that they are against a person for such a reason, but it seems that they improve. the conservative ones must shut up, they must accept the Italian version. for me, I don't care at all if the person is gay, bi or heterosexual or whatever, only my boyfriend must be hetero, obviously.
The problem is one of people, not of dogma. The dogma is problematic enough for homosexuals, as it asks them to practice total abstinence (consequence of no sex outside marriage + heterosexual marriage only), but breaking that is dogmatically no different to any heterosexual who has sex outside marriage. The Catholic church has no view against the people, only the actions. Is homophobia more prevalent among the Catholic congregation and/or clergy than the general population? I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but I have no figures. And remember that bishops are all pretty old guys, so you're talking about another generation in terms of social attitudes.
Yes, I agree. It can be gossip and not true, but I can imagine that this Pope is nicer and accept more. I think that if a religion doesn't accept diversity then it better shut up. The religions can be too judgemental in my opinion. if God or Allah or other of those ones made gay people or divorced and want to marry other person, then the church better accept this. I don't see the problem. It isn't crime at all, or damage others.
