AP headline today: Argentine Gays Not Thrilled with New Pope. I can't think of anyone better qualified to tell us about the new guy.
Nearly three years before Argentina became known as home to the first Latin American pope, it made history as the first country in the region to approve gay marriage — an action that then-Cardinal Bergoglio actively opposed.Esteban Paulon is president of the Argentine Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals. He says Bergoglio waged a "war of God" against a gay-marriage proposal headed for Congress.
There's
not much more to the "story" -- it tells us nothing we didn't already
know. Frankie the popeyguy will be at least as awful as the last guy. And
let's face it, if Frankie was a decent man operating in a world where some countries want to kill gays on sight (that would be the world we actually live in, BTW) -- he'd speak up for gay marriage rather than oppose it.
But Roman Catholic priests know nothing of morality. They reveal this every day.
