Vatican backs gay decriminalization - just NOT UN measure, does not propose an alterntive, just says NOOOOO!

The Vatican Friday urged governments around the world to decriminalize homosexuality but said a proposed U.N. resolution on the issue went too far. The self-proclaimed “Holy See” failed to suggest an alternative resolution to the UN that would “decriminalize” without going “too far,” prompting some to wonder if the latest claim was simply an effort to spin the pope’s increasingly unpopular opposition to homophobia.

 

Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said the Holy See criticizing the wording of a European-backed text that champions decriminalization of homosexuality.

 

"The Holy See continues to advocate that every sign of unjust discrimination toward homosexual persons should be avoided and urges States to do away with criminal penalties against them," read the delegation's remarks, released by the Vatican on its website (www.vatican.va) Friday. "At the same time, the Holy See notes that the wording of this declaration goes well beyond the above mentioned and shared intent."

 

Yeah, well, wake me when the “holy See” does something to end the abuse of LGBT people around the world.  See Vatican backs gay decriminalization, not UN measure
