In a Christmas message to the Rome based clergy Pope Benedict has not tip-toed but rather plunged directly into the debate over the morality of immoral sexual unions.
Finally someone speaking sense on the issue...
"I cannot hide my concern about legislation on de facto couples," the Pope said in a Christmas address to the Rome clergy, weighing into a raging debate in Italy over what legal rights should be given to unmarried and gay couples.
"If they say the Church shouldn't interfere in these matters, then we can only reply: should mankind perhaps not interest us?" he said.
And then he added:
"This tacitly accredits those dismal theories that strip all relevance from the masculinity and femininity of the human being as though it were a purely biological issue," the Pope said.
Theories "according to which man should be able to decide autonomously what he is and what he isn't," end up with mankind destroying its own identity, he said.
My admiration for this Pope continues to grow. Particularly because he is so unwilling to play the political correctness game which is laced with lies - and helps no one understand the truth.
Follow up reading that I highly recommend.
