And yet Catholic Church still insist that they have exclusive rights on morality like in Germany where same sex marriage is legalized Archbishop Heiner Koch, who is responsible for family affairs in the bishops conference, said he was "deeply saddened" by the vote.
He said marriage had been “caught up in the cogwheels of political point-scoring”.
Going on, Koch said the Church would continue campaigning for marriage to remain as one man and one woman.
“I regret that our understanding of marriage and the state’s understanding are moving yet further apart”, added Archbishop Stefan Heße of Hamburg.
While article also says "The Protestant Church in Germany has welcomed the vote." Oh how can that be? How can there be so many different Jesuses where one is for gays an one against? Are they reading the same Bible? What's going on?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I, for one, support same sex marriage.
Why the hell should a whole section of society be allowed to avoid messy divorces??

As an aside, when I was walking through Auckland airport a couple of weeks ago, there was a kiosk labelled "unescorted children", or words to that effect.
I couldn't help picturing a lot of hopeful Catholic priests lining up near it...

Quote:Pope ‘infuriated’ after cops raid drug-fueled ‘gay orgy’ at Vatican priest’s apartment: report
Quote:The Vatican is facing fresh embarrassment after police broke up what’s being described as a drug-fueled gay orgy at one of its priest’s apartments.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano is reporting that Vatican police raided an apartment in June at the former palace of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to break up an orgy taking place.
“The occupant of the apartment is alleged to be a priest who serves as a secretary to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the head of the Pontifical Council for Legislative texts and a personal adviser to the Pope,” the New Zealand Herald explains.
The Inquisition is not what it used to be!
As long as there were no underage boys in the orgy, I have no problem with a priest hosting and participating in it.

Tim Minchin has a sweet little ditty about the fucking pope.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
