Look, the country is far too Roman Catholic with significant influence to allow gay marriage.

Well gee! I didn't realize we were living in a theocracy? Damn, who would a thunk it! And here I thought we lived in a representative republic! LOL

He added that Portuguese society is "threatened" by same-sex marriage.

Has anyone EVER heard a logical, non-religious reason on how society is threatened??????

No, because there isn't one. They shout and cry about being "threatened" but will never, EVER say just what that threat is because there isn't one. When you ask them they always deflect the question to something irrelevant. They lie, they deceive, they lie some more.

What do you expect from a Nazi pope that supports preists that have abused their young parishioners but sending them to retreats in the desert rather than have them prosecuted.

Although I am extremely anti-Catholic and think this pope is a terrible person, in this case I must come to his defense by saying he is NOT, and never was a Nazi. Although he was in the Wehrmacht during World War II, that does NOT make him a member of the Nazi Party. Only a tiny fraction of people who were in the Wehrmacht were party members.

Really?....check out Ratzinger yourself. Google him. Also Google Wehrmacht and Nazi brownshirt. Get back to us after you read about the reactionary Nazi pope.

He was NOT a party member. If you are NOT a member of the Nazi Party, then you are not a Nazi.

I don't like or support the pope either. But let's be accurate about this.

It's funny how intolerant the homosexuals are about another point of view. They feel free to spread their propaganda throughout the schools system, lobby the AMA and other organizations to accept them and make sure their minority representation is included in most television shows. Yet when decent, moral people voice opposition to their agenda the homosexuals throw a hissy fit. It just goes to show the narrow mindedness and intoleration of the homos.

The only "agenda" we have is to get EQUAL rights and protections of safety against the violence and tyranny of religious extremists. A person who opposes the constitutional guarantee of equal rights for ALL can hardly call themselves decent or moral.

"Moral opposition" to homosexuality is a charade. Homosexuality is not, no what your church tells you, immoral. It is the natural way we are wired. Most of us live good, decent, and moral lives.

So yes, we are going to rail against an organization and a leader that tries so hard to marginalize, demonize, and oppress us.

Yet you don't show the same demand for "accuracy" when it comes to those you want to skewer.

Yes, how dare we protest the demonization and outright lies your "decent moral people" keep spreading about us. You are not moral, you are despicable.

No, I'm not. This is the web and you can't believe you everything you read on the web.

This isn't real life.

It's Topix !
