Weren't you claiming earlier that you don't judge homosexuals, yet now you are congratulating people that consider them criminals?
Regardless, even if we are to accept your premise that there is something inherently wrong with homosexuality, it would be so far down on the list of issues that take priority as to be non-existent. People need to start focusing on real issues and not who's putting their penis in what hole.

Ah, I see...might I suggest using a smiley to show your sarcasm? Like this...
The pope is a wonderful human being.

Today the pope said gay-marriage is a threat to humanity's future.
If you're catholic, you support his opinion. Otherwise, you'd be protestant.
ope blessed her, if you're catholic ...you support his opinion. Otherwise, you'd be protestant.
If you're a catholic, I probably don't like you.
1 - Sorry but even catholics do not support or even have to support the popes' opinions. THere are very few instances where a papal document has been designated as infallible - and he made no such pronouncement here.
2 - Claiming that a person would be a protestant if they disagreed with a papal claim on a secular issue is simply nonsense - a pope is speaking as a private person on such matters which have NO requirement in the religion.
3 - Few catholics today even accept the infallibility of the pope even when speaking on issues of the religion anyway.
That being said - of all the popes - Mr Benedict would be the one who would have INTIMATE knowledge of the issue of homosexuality - and sexual abuse in the church.
WHen the POPE says that he will NOT ACCEPT A DIME from any homosexual person or couple - then you can make your statement -Until then - this is all posturing
