[Behind the Aegis]

While their positions are in fact archaic, the fact that we, as gays, cannot marry, it says much by their inclusion of homosexuality in the list. Basically, they expect us to deny our nature, our sexuality, because it doesn't fit with what their beliefs are. Ans, the only reason I denounce these teachings is because they are not intent with staying in the bounds of their own religion. They have crossed into the public arena of politics, therefore, their teachings and beliefs have been made fair game by themselves.

As for the new pope's comments on PBS, it is more of saying one thing and expecting a different outcome. The Catholic Church as a whole may not be calling for active discrimination, but they sure do support it.
