Breaking News: Pope Still Wrong

*Head-desk*

"...The different current forms of dissolution of marriage, such as free unions, trial marriages, and even the pseudo-marriage between persons of the same sex, are actually expressions of an anarchic liberty..."

I don't know about you, but that sounds good to me. Honestly, what with all those declamations about the essential nature of human beings, you'd think he'd actually look at the anthropological studies of cultures that haven't been infected with his twisted patriarchal-authoritarian worldview. But then again, if he did then he'd realise he's actually Wrong, given the various permutations of human societo-sexual behaviour worldwide. And then his head would explode or something. I mean, who died and made him the supreme arbiter of human moral behaviour?

Yes, I know the answer is "John Paul II", but that's not the point.



It's lucky he doesn't look more and more like a megalomaniac with a tenuous grip on reality who believes that his imaginary friend talks to him every day, really. Otherwise I might be a bit worried...

Can I just ask, what can he actually do about anything?

Sable, you took the words out of my mouth. Apart from "dominant paradigm", which you left, for some reason.
