"Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered to an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder." - from Ratzinger's "Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons," 1986, as reported by National Catholic Reporter.

At least Catholics recognize it is not a choice.

7. There are strong arguments that Ratzinger is the

architect of this 'ideology of evil' stance.

Is there anyhere that wouldn't expect a Hitler Youth to be intolerant? Come-on, be realistic.

salutes bigotry and advocates intolerance of other groups.
