Lawyers ask Vatican to denounce criminalization of homosexuality

[Igel]

4. The RCC draws their lines where they draw their lines.

We can claim they draw the lines elsewhere, argue that they should draw the lines elsewhere, but it remains a stubborn fact that at any given time they draw the lines based on where they draw the lines.

My prediction: Abusing and beating up, punishing such behavior is to be condemned; such behavior is to be condemned; the underlying predisposition may be wrong, but it is to be tolerated. All told, "Stop punishing these people."


On the other hand, here we have a group openly calling for having the RCC, a western cultural creation, interfering openly in the political system of a former colonial territory. Church/state? As long as it suits us, combine them. Imperialism? As long as it suits us, it's hunky-dory. WEIRD, no?

Then again, at the same time it's a tacit, "If you don't rebuke them and decry their practices, then it's obvious that you think just like them." More "with us or against us" framing that at one point we hated, until it suited us.

I don't give a rat's ass as to what the Vatican does.
