The Roman Church so boldly and beautifully contends for the sanctity of life and family. ((If only they would turn from their false teachings and teach the Gospel so clearly.)). All I could think of when I read this article was:
Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Oh how the world laughs at truth and wisdom in pursuit of their own lust and desires. If they do not turn and receive forgiveness, these very acts they will answer for before God.
Pope defends family as Spanish gays hold ‘kiss-in’
BARCELONA, Spain – Pope Benedict XVI strongly defended traditional families and the rights of the unborn Sunday, directly attacking Spanish laws that allow gay marriage, fast-track divorce and easier access to abortions as he dedicated Barcelona’s iconic basilica, the Sagrada Familia.
As he headed to the basilica, about 200 gays and lesbians staged a ‘kiss-in’ to protest his visit and church policies that consider homosexual acts “intrinsically disordered.” Later, a few hundred women marched to protest their second-class status in the church and the Vatican’s opposition to birth control.
At a separate, feminist-inspired demonstration, upwards of 500 people marched behind banners reading “The woman decides to be a mother” and “Condoms save, the pope damns.”
