Vatican Warns Italians Not to Treat Gays Like People

Last edited Tue May 26, 2015, 01:54 PM - Edit history (1)

Some satire following the great development in Ireland where about 62% of voters passed a constitutional amendment legalizing marriage equality.

Vatican Warns Italians Not to Treat Gays Like People

"The Catholic Church will not be embarrassed by Italians who want to give consenting adults of the same gender the same rights as consenting adults of different genders," warned Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi.

Lombardi made sure to remind Italians of their past trespasses by adding, "We are still pissed off about that 1974 divorce referendum you totally ignored the us on, you unrepentant sinners and breakers of vows."

all the anti gay people summoned to hear Francis attack equality. From Time Magazine:

Vatican Strengthens Ties with Evangelicals and Mormons Against Gay Marriage

"The presence of American evangelicals and the LDS Church was particularly notable. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, and Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, each gave speeches, and representatives from the Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council in Washington attended. President Henry Eyring of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ first presidency spoke and Elder Tom Perry of the LDS’s Quorum of the Twelve also joined. In the United States, this trio of faiths has worked together to stand against the government’s Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate, but it was the first time they were coming together at the Vatican to talk about marriage."
