Remember folks these are the same people who disapproved of Hussein's execution.

The resolution would have decriminalized homosexuality and not let countries jail or execute gays for being gay.

[SIZE=1]"Archbishop Celestino Migliore said the Vatican opposed the resolution because it would "add new categories of those protected from discrimination" and could lead to reverse discrimination against traditional heterosexual marriage.

"If adopted, they would create new and implacable discriminations," Migliore said. "For example, states which do not recognise same-sex unions as 'matrimony' will be pilloried and made an object of pressure," Migliore said."

"Franco Grillini, founder and honorary president of Arcigay, Italy's leading gay rights group, said the Vatican's reasoning smacked of "total idiocy and madness."

"The French resolution, which is supported by all 27 members of the European Union, has nothing to do with gay marriage. It is about stopping jail and the death penalty for homosexuals," Grillini told Reuters."[/SIZE]

So not jailing and executing gay people will eventually lead to gay marriage and reverse discrimination. What an amazing use of the slippery slope fallacy.

So I guess the Vatican might be incredibly paranoid/stupid.

Now consider this

[SIZE=1]"The Holy See takes this occasion to welcome and affirm again its support for all initiatives aimed at defending the inherent and inviolable value of all human life from conception to natural death,"[/SIZE]

But apparently when defending human life comes with a small chance of accepting gays they back away.

Hey I just discovered a new way to spell hypocrite
