He's Italian. He just grew up in Argentina. He's the least south american person in all of south america.

To be fair gay marriage goes completely against the Catholic creed. It's actually slightly impressive to see a figurehead standing up for what his scripture actually teaches.

No idea where the women thing is coming from though.

Can't wait to hear more gems from the newly elected pope.

Can you provide counter-arguments to these statements, then?

Counterargument 1: God and the Devil are made up. Nothing is their plan because they aren't real.

Guess I don't really need a second one.

Ok, I'll try again less confrontationally:

If the goal of the Devil was to destroy the church and turn people away, the best thing he could do would be to be responsible for the church backlash AGAINST gay marriage etc, not the movement FOR it. Nothing has turned more people away from the church than the absurd conservatism that is decades behind the time, and shows modern young catholics that the church is utterly out of touch with their generation and what their generation feels and thinks and wants.

And to be even fairer, gay marriage is kind of (that means UTTERLY!! ^-^) a jackoff issue compared to stuff like climate change, energy scarcity, and ocean acidification, and people whose lives revolve around debating it need to be kicked in the teeth, especially politicians and religious leaders.

Gays you are perfectly fine but go be gay somewhere other than the news or the vatican. You're distracting people from important things.

Someone's surprised that someone actually pointed out an unimportant topic is unimportant. How uncommon.

Gay people. Distracting people from the important issues since always.

Eff off gays. Your bizarre ideas of equality are insignificant. Especially when there's so much important stuff like climate change and oceans and stuff. There's no way we can deal with more than one issue at a time.

I, for one, am severely unimpressed.
