International News Report Vatican Council Calls Gay Relationships 'Deplorable'
The Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family issued a paper
November 21 calling gay relationships "a deplorable distortion of
what should be a communion of love and life between a man and a
woman in a reciprocal gift open to life."
Roman Catholic doctrine maintains that every human sexual act must be open to the possibility of procreation. For this reason, the church denounces as sinful oral sex, masturbation, birth control and gay sex.
Allegedly Gay Greek Orthodox Bishop Cleared The Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church determined last week that allegations that Cyprus' Bishop Athanassios of Limassol had seduced a young monk were untrue. Athanassios' supporters claimed the charges were invented by his enemies to derail his likely succession to the archbishop's chair. |
