News headline: Pope denounces U.S. political push to legalize gay marriage

The pope’s latest comments in opposition to homosexual marriage came in an address to bishops from several Midwestern states on a regular visit to the Vatican.

“Sexual differences cannot be dismissed as irrelevant to the definition of marriage,” he said.

He added that the traditional family and marriage had to be “defended from every possible misrepresentation of their true nature” because, he said, whatever injured families injured society.

“In this regard, particular mention must be made of the powerful political and cultural currents seeking to alter the legal definition of marriage (in the United States),” he added in a clear reference to gay marriage.

You know, Pope, you’ve got big enough problems with your church and its pedophile priests. I’m not so sure you’ve got much standing to lecture the United States about its halting attempts to confer more civil rights on its citizens. Keep your mouth shut, and suggest to your Bishops in this country that they do the same.
