The Pope on HBT: "a threat to the future of mankind"

[Euryleia]

I find it hard to believe that, based on the scientific information that homosexual and bisexual behavior has been found in most animal species, that the such sexual preferences amounts to the 'auto destruction of mankind'.

We've had homosexuality throughout human history and we're not extinct yet. Unlike the myriad of species we've managed to wipe from the face of the earth.

There are plenty of other problems facing the planet and people on it. The Catholic Church's stance on protecting people from AIDS is as medieval and unhelpful as using gays, lesbians and transgender people as the ultimate boogey man. To me, it looks like a Wizard of Oz type ploy (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) to distract people from the Church's increasing irrevelance.

Please... Take not the wizards name in vain!

I agree with most everything you've said. I also hate the fact that California, (by over 2/3 of the population compared to the less than half who tried to stop prop-8) is more concerned about chicken rights than human rights.

Thank-you lobbyists for the Church of Latter Day Saints.
