Once again astounding the believers with infinite truth and wisdom, the Pope John Paul has decided that gay marriage was part of a new "ideology of evil," apparently suggesting some kind of weird conspiracy wherein homosexuals are part of an "insidious and hidden" plot to destroy family. Not that Christianity as a whole hasn't been known to have 'issues' with homosexuals, but the Pope's latest manuscript actually went out and connected homosexuality to "evil," which are what one might consider to be fightin' words. Until I read this, I had a much higher regard for the Pope, considering that he accepted evolution over Biblical literalism -- which is not a small thing; I guess I didn't realize that the Vatican was a red state.
According to the article at My Way News, the 84-year-old Pope based his latest tome on conversations that he had with philosopher friends in 1993 (and later ones with aides), which may explain why he includes a vicious attack on the third season of "Seinfeld."
