Roman Catholic Church Affirms Teaching on Marriage, Media Hardest Hit
[PJMEDIA] On Monday, the Vatican reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church’s 2,000-year-old doctrine that marriage is between one man and one woman and that homosexual acts are illicit. Therefore, the Vatican stated that the church cannot bless same-sex weddings because that would lead to confusion about the doctrine of marriage.This should not surprise anyone with a basic familiarity with historic Christianity or with the Roman Catholic Church. The New Testament clearly condemns homosexual activity and Jesus explicitly affirmed the teaching of Genesis that marriage is between one man and one woman. The Catholic Church has a 2,000-year tradition of upholding this basic definition of marriage that, in historical terms, only came under fire yesterday.

Yet legacy media outlets reported the Vatican’s decision as if it were new and shocking. "BREAKING: The Vatican decrees that the Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex unions since God ’cannot bless sin,'" the News Agency that Dare Not be Named tweeted. "Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...

’s report described the Vatican’s statement as "combative," warning that the move "threatens to widen the chasm between the church and much of the LGBTQ community."

The legacy media and many American and global institutions have rushed to embrace the hyper-charged sexual revolution of recent years, a revolution that weaponizes the language of "tolerance," equates same-sex relationships with marriage, hints at polygamy, pushes nebulous gender identity over biological sex, and demonizes dissent from this agenda as "bigotry."

#1 Well, the Pope got it right on this one.

But he does remind me of the bad old days of Pope Paul VI in the 60s and 70s, when you never knew what he was going to say. The joke then was, "What do we believe this week?"

#2 I'm no fan of this guy, but watching the gay media lecture the pope about God and Catholicism is hilarious.

Especially the ones who have been nodding along the whole time.
