Vatican attacked for opposing gay decriminalization

Gay rights groups and newspaper editorials on Tuesday condemned the Vatican for its decision to oppose a proposed U.N. resolution calling on governments worldwide to de-criminalize homosexuality.
Archbishop Celestino Migliore said the Vatican opposed the resolution because it would “add new categories of those protected from discrimination” and could lead to reverse discrimination against traditional heterosexual marriage.
“If adopted, they would create new and implacable discriminations,” Migliore said. “For example, states which do not recognize same-sex unions as ‘matrimony’ will be pilloried and made an object of pressure,” Migliore said.
Human rights groups say homosexuality is still punishable by law in more than 85 countries and by death in a number of them, including Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen.
Vatican spokesman Rev Federico Lombardi said “no one wants the death penalty or jail or fines for homosexuals” but defended Migliore’s comments, adding that the Vatican was in the majority on the issue.
“It’s not for nothing that fewer than 50 member states of the United Nations have adhered to the proposal in question while more than 150 have not adhered. The Holy See is not alone,” Lombardi said.
The Catholic Church teaches that while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are. But in October, a leading Vatican official called homosexuality “a deviation, an irregularity and a wound.”
We need to get out of the UN. They’re seriously trying to take over as the world government. And they’re gearing up to be the elite power with their fancy $23 million painted ceiling. The UN is evil. Get us out of there.
whats wrong with decriminalising it?
Good for them. I hope many other countries join them in their stand against barbarism.
You have not explained why this would be a bad thing. By siding with murderers, the Vatican’s hands are bloodied. Apparently they care more about being dogmatically correct than they do about being moral human beings.
Homosexuality is not a choice, and it is not a lifestyle. Claims to the contrary are baseless. Homosexuals hurt no one. Anyone who thinks that death is an appropriate penalty for a victimless “crime” is a barbarian.
Another example of the west trying to impose its views on the world. I mean if a country wants to let gays get married sure let them but they shouldn’t be pressured to do it by the UN or any other foreign nation for that matter.
so you are defending an old nazi like the pope?
No wonder you are so homophobic, if you think nazis are great.
That’s because France is gay.
Homosexuals are attempting to destroy society
I suppose you would rather have gays hanged ? no wonder my gay Friend wanted to get out of the US , you treat them like crap -
You are funny,
You did a copy & paste of only few parts of that article and you conveniently forgot to copy & paste this:
“…France’s initiative … is an initiative that is based on existing texts. The idea is not to create new rights. The idea is … to make decriminalization possible,” French Foreign Ministry spokesman Eric Chevallier said.”.
Nice try pal!
the UN is the cause of a lot of the worlds problems,the sooner it is gone the better. screw anything france does,they are a weak country that couldn’t defend itself from a rabid boyscout
Why does this not suprise me about the French. Most of their male population are homos. Its in their genes when they fled like cowards during WWII as the Germans invaded their homeland.
