Vatican Declares Gay Marriage Holy War, Forms Worldwide Religions Coalition


Pope Benedict XVI

A top Vatican representative and Roman Catholic Archbishop is reaching out to form a coalition with other religions and has called on them to join the Vatican in a worldwide holy war against same-sex marriage, claiming that proliferation of equality “is not a good thing for society,” and will lead to “confusion.”

“I wonder if we shouldn’t ask for and look for more support among other Christian confessions and indeed, persons of other faiths,” Archbishop Antonio Mennini, who represents Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican in Great Britain, said in an address to Catholic bishops from England and Wales.

“It seems to me that, concerning the institution of marriage, and indeed the sanctity of human life, we have much in common with the position of the Jewish community, the Chief Rabbi and many of the more significant representatives of Islam,” Mennini added.

Pink News reports that in the UK, “Archbishop Peter Smith said that while there has been no ‘formal’ contact with Jewish groups to form what he called a united front on the subject of marriage,‘we will work with anyone who agrees with us that to redefine marriage is not a good thing for society and will lead to confusion’.”


A "holy war" against gays. Let that sink in for a minute. It makes me wonder: What's next? We all know this kind of rhetoric leads only to violence and brutality against gay people. World gone mad.

That the term "Holy War" was a slip of the tongue......


Organized Religion(s) are the same fuckers who waged Holy Crusades, (and not only killed)... but tortured poor souls who didn't agree with their belief system..... burned witches..... burned Lutherans, and who now have crossed the line into full fledged Christian Terrorists....


Update the time line... what do we see...... ahhhh, yes... torture for any boy/man who might have the bad manners to "not appreciate" being molested by a pedophile..... Filthy Sewer Dwellers.......

For the Queers reading this... you better be damn clear about one fact.... these Christian Terrorists mean to rid the planet of you.


They are well funded, have a larger following than you could ever imagine.... not to mention they are well armed.


They have friends in places that boggles the mind.... think about it.... who funds Fred Phelps, & his family? He is able to fly all around the world... picket at every point in the USA... and has no viable means of support (like a job).

The Federal government, down to the local level... and law enforcement as well turn a blind eye to these Christian Terrorists... and why?

It's very simple... they are part of the same club......


Some will hate you publicly... while others smile, and hate you privately..... but never confuse the fact, that both groups despise you with equal intensity....

The sentiment is mutual.

A snake in Prada slippers who shuffled pedos around so the law couldn't touch them has no room to talk about LGBT's. Who's to say Bene isn't a pedo himself? He's already an admitted nazi.

The first one who assaults me or mine better have a taste for hot lead, 's'all I've got to say. My patience with these fools has finally run out.

Is bennie the last of the old-liners, the last of the "Traditional" Catholics who believe in such?

As he and the other ex-nazi youth pass on, will the church change?

Or am I just dreaming?

Or we want a congressional inquiry as to why the IRS is not enforcing the rules.

Anyone that contributes to a group that thinks equality is a bad thing is the ENEMY.

Fuck the Catholic Church. Fuck anyone that donates to them.
