Reply #1: Pope shows he's human [View All]

"Yesterday, however, the Pope appeared alert when presiding over a two-hour Mass at St Peter’s to canonise three priests — an Italian, a German and an Austrian — who served as missionaries in Africa and China. The pontiff clearly enjoyed a display of dancing and singing by African women in leopard-skin tribal costumes — a deliberate rebuff, perhaps, to a recently leaked draft document drawn up by Vatican conservatives banning singing and dancing in the liturgy"

or a bit of support for heterosexuality?

Seriously, it seems to me to be the Anglican hierarchy who are concerned with closer ties to the Roman Catholics, and not the ordinary members. They're quite happy with an established church, which gives it a nice feeling of stability, without getting endless pronouncements on exactly how to live your life (they don't call it 'pontificating' for nothing). I think the average Anglican (I grew up as one) is more interested in closer ties to the gay community, since they're the people they live and work with.
