Comments on: Is the Pope Gay? http://bly.com/blog/general/is-the-pope-gay/ bly.com direct marketing blog Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:58:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: s.key http://bly.com/blog/general/is-the-pope-gay/#comment-675315 s.key Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:01:32 +0000 http://bly.com/blog/general/is-the-pope-gay/#comment-675315 I have a few points I would like to raise 1. Its a question not a statement so why would that be offensive? 2. Why is it offensive to suggest that someone is gay, especially someone who is celebate. One would assume sexuality is irrelevant to when celebacy is involved. 3. Even if the topic was an offensive one and the accusations were damaging why should the pope be immune to such questions. History has shown us that popes are far from infallible, e.g. pre renaissance corruption, so haven't we learned to be at least questioning of such people? 4. I haven't read the article but I'd imagine the question was asked because a lot of people think that if someone has some sort of pre-occupation with homosexuality (e.g. constantly making sweeping statements about gays being objectively evil and being a need to cleans the world of gays)that may stem from discomfort with their own sexuality. I don't know if there is any basis for making that assumption but I think there is still no harm in discussing it so long as you clearly state that it is an assumption and not a fact. 5. Do you really think he deserves the respect of the gay community given the things he says? I have a few points I would like to raise

Truth and Love need to representative other than Itself. Certainly no human former Nazi Rat-zinger ought to be confused with Jesus or as representing Him in any way, shape, or form. This pontiff preaches hate. No American should take Rome seriously as far as policy of the US government is concerned. Our forefathers fought against this very sort of debauchery, arrogance, and repression. Christ, being the embodiment of Truth, is in need of no vicar.

I share your p.o.v on the Out's headline. And the Pope, of all people, should know that love knows no sexual boundaries. People can say gay is evil/hell/sinful etc...but love is the greatest of all. I am in love with a man. And I thank God (not the Pope) for him to be in my life. Hi Bob

It will appeal to folks who agree with such tactics. I don't think it's libelous. It’s a sensationalist headline. It will appeal to folks who agree with such tactics. I don’t think it’s libelous.
