POPSGay in Iraq The first comment in response to this article : webparent, Tulsa (8/17/2009 7:29:30 AM) "While I do not agree with such measures I also do not agree with homosexuality......these Sunni's are following the way of the curan and the bible. Maybe people should reconsider not being gay. Whether its their choice or not is irrelevant. They can make a change. If nothing else they can be celibate. It is not the natural way of life nor is it in god's will. I and others will pray that this torture stops and new choices are made." Read more at source...

POPSPope Quits: Says One Billion Catholics Are Wrong Jesuit priest Hal Head heads up a group of former priests and nuns who made similar decisions to marry. "I'm very happy the Pope has decided to lead from the front in this issue," he said. "There are too many back door men among us," he concluded. Rank and file Catholics are uncertain how the Pope's resignation will affect local congregations, but many are certain the change was long overdue. Bill Phaser, chief of the Marmet, West Virginia Knights of Columbus group, told me, "Priests are real men, just like us. It's high time for all men to be real men, and altar boys to be terrified."

POPSMormons (Some) Doing Their Own Thinking The LDS church doesn't apologize. They have expedient "revelations" and claim that God changed his mind. The hierarchy doesn't like dissent, either. Congratulations, ldsapology.org, but be careful! You're doing the right thing here.

POPSHoly honey hand cream by the St Augustine’s Abbey monks Brother Anselm also experiments on himself – and got some bizarre looks from his brethren. He said: "The bell rang for evening prayer and I’d only just put on peppermint lip balm. I stood in the church trying to rub it into my lips and I got some strange looks from brethren. The abbot has tested the latest range – it’s all in the aid of science." Now Brother Anselm has extended the range to include hand creams using organic ingredients as well as crushed lavender from the abbey garden. He said he is open to advice from customers, adding: "I’m a celibate man living with other men trying to create cosmetics for women. I need outside influence.

POPSHistoric Figures That Were Celibate He spent years inventing things he never got credit for, like the light bulb and radio, and even believed he could control the weather. He also felt that sex was a drain on creativity and completely pushed aside any woman that was interested in him. Sarah Bernhardt, a famous actress, tried her hardest to woo him but he considered her to be little more than a distraction from inventing a death ray. When asked about marriage, he replied: “I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.”

POPSThe Abomination that causes destruction? Fornication is condemned in the bible along with homosexuality. If the PCUSA is no longer going to stand for biblical principles then they no longer need to be supported by members who do not support such iniquity. It is time for someone to take a whip to the houses of prostitution being set up in the once reformed church house. Jdg 2:11 (GW) The people of Israel did what the Lord considered evil. They began to serve other gods—the Baals. 12 The Israelites abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors, the God who brought them out of Egypt. They followed the other gods of the people around them. They worshiped these gods, and that made the Lord angry. 13 They abandoned the Lord to serve the god Baal and the goddess Astarte. 14 So the Lord became angry with the people of Israel. He handed them over to people who robbed them. He also used their enemies around them to defeat them. They could no longer stand up against their enemies.

POPSSavage Savages Gays Maybe someone can explain to Michael Savave how the Catholic church is "giving in to the gay mafia" by calling for gays and lesbians to be celibate. Not that he'd listen. My guess is that he thinks the church has gone soft because it's not calling for the execution of gays & lesbians.

POPSNo Sex for Homos Here's my problem with the "gays should be celibate" approach. Why should I expect less and accept less from life because I happen to be gay? Most people, including lots of gay people, aren't cut out for celibacy. That's why they call it the "give of celibacy." Not everybody gets it. Why not advocate a model for gays & lesbians to find a healthy, life-affirming way to express their sexuality and integrate it into their lives? Why not encourage committed monogamous relationships among gays & lesbians?
