This is freaking 2016, people! Time to leave medieval mentalities where they belong, in the past!

I want them to continue to spout their nonsense freely. The more ridiculous crap theists and religious people say and write, the more likely people are to abandon religion and theism.

This priest needs to Google "what causes earthquakes" and teach himself some science.

I like how he's getting slapped down by the Vatican for his comments.

I agree. What era are they living in. They have too much time on their hands. I hope not all church leaders think that stupidly. It took me 6 years to start going to church again, because of people like that. What would they do if they saw me? Put me in a dress if they find out I have boobs?

I'm not Catholic but don't see why gay people require the formal acknowledgment of innocent bystanders, when they are able to have independent venues. I understood that it has always had a place, in society, since times immemorial.

There's what's called sound doctrine, and there's Churchianity. Some looks and mannerisms are not traditions of men, irrespective of our beliefs. It's just not customary, and the provocateurs knew that.

I am also willing to say that emotion has an effect on the external world --

If that offends the formal academics, I will not disrupt you, to be validated. I'm not asking for a degree, in this.

Despite the fact that your whole comment is tangential (if not irrelevant) to this thread, I must inform you that no tradition exists in any way "irrespective of our beliefs." Traditions are created because of beliefs. Traditions do not spring into existence of their own accord; people create them for specific reasons.

What looks and mannerisms have to do with the topic, I've no idea.

I think it's ridiculous how the priest is blaming earthquakes on gay unions. The next thing you know, he will be blaming floods on women. The reason I mention floods and women, is because women have their monthly floods.

Same reason why interracial couples wanted acknowledgement - - they want the same civil rights as all Americans, or anyone else in the world.

Of course here in America, we had the late Jerry Falwell blaming gays and other "sinners" for the 9/11 attack, and more recently, an idiot politician blamed tornado activity on God's wrath on America for gay marriage.

The Vatican distanced itself from the words of this priest. I think his radio show was cancelled too.
