Pope Benedict said on Monday that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction."(The Church) should also protect man from the destruction of himself. A sort of ecology of man is needed," the pontiff said in a holiday address to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration.
He should have been the obvious choice to head the EPA. That must have slipped right by P.E. Obama.

The Catholic Church teaches that while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are.
Let me get this straight (no pun): You can be gay, but there should be no expression of your love or passion for anyone under any circumstances. That would be wrong. Worse than wrong. That would be, according to Pope B, reprehensible.
So, extending that argument to straighties, I can secretly love my husband, but I should never have married him. In fact, I should never have had kids with him, either. And intimacy? To quote one of our more articulate trolls, "Pfft!"
Wow, good thing I happen to have been born hetero. Oh, it's a choice? I wonder at what age people choose to be gay. Two? Nine? Fourteen? Thirty?
Continuing:
Seriously, I oppose his irrational opposition with every fiber of my being. If I comment any further, I will most likely offend, so I'll stop here.It opposes gay marriage and, in October, a leading Vatican official called homosexuality "a deviation, an irregularity, a wound."
The pope said humanity needed to "listen to the language of creation" to understand the intended roles of man and woman. He compared behavior beyond traditional heterosexual relations as "a destruction of God's work."
