[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 188536, member: 138"] [b]Re: Pope says gays must not be judged or marginalized[/b] Well, not really. First and foremost, I must admit that this Pope is doing a lot better than the rigid Pope Benedict. Vatican is a big snake oil sales business as most of the religions because of the obvious reason. The reason he talked about the gays so openly is because gay marriage is legal both in Argentina,his country of birth (where he opposed it vehemently in the beginning) and also in Brasil. The LGBT community is very well accepted in both societies. In Fact, the famous American journalist Glenn Greenwald who works for The Guardian of UK now, and with whom Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker got in touch with, lives in Rio de Janeiro with his boyfriend because he can not bring him to the US. Gays are not marginalized in these countries as Pope Francis claimed, but are fabric of these societies. Carnaval is the largest gay parade in the world for 4 days all around Brasil where people from many countries flock in. This Pope is not going to do anything for the LGBT because it goes against the Church's teachings. As they say talk is cheap and it does not come with a wafer either. The Pope said this and many other things like bringing the atheists to the fold etc. etc more loudly to the traditionalists of the Vatican and also to the strong gay lobby there, who many claim forced Pope Benedict to resign. Co-incidentally, there was a re-run with some additions to a segment on "60 Minutes", a famous CBS news program in the US regarding the Nuns who were talking about birth control and other things while helping the poor. The Vatican has admonished them many times and now Pope Francis has designated an archbishop to lasso them in. The Vatican is against many American Nuns including Sister Simone, the famous “ Nuns on the Bus” crusader because she was in favour of Obamacare. The Vatican is going after them with total vengeance. If these Nuns do not come into the fold the way The Pope Francis wants them to, they will be banished from The Vatican. The common verse spat out more often than ever towards the gays by the Christians is Jesus said, “Love the sinner but hate the sin”. The fact is that Jesus never said that. It does not even exist in the Bible. It is a phony verse which makes no sense but shows piety in a disdainful manner and I have no idea who concocted this verse and claimed Jesus said it, which is a dishonest thing to do for anyone, especially the Christians who have made this as their slogan. Granted, that Pope Francis is doing a much better PR job with his actions than his predecessors but that does not mean, The Vatican will allow the priests to get married, will have women priests and many other things that need to be reformed which have stopped in time and are contrary to the living today. All religions are supposed to make us better but in order to do so, they must adapt to the times of today to fulfill the needs of the followers. This is the reason, I urge all to read and comment on the thread “Evolution and God”. [url]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/atheism/41215-evolution-and-god.html[/url] Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
